Miami Springs History
The history
of Miami Springs is intertwined with the history of aviation in South
Florida.
 Glenn
H. Curtiss thought the area desirable for starting a flying school
in 1916 with his partner, James Bright. Together they purchased 17,000
acres of scrub and pasture land that years later would become Miami Springs,
Hialeah, and Opa-Locka.
The Springs was always intended to be a residential community, originally
known as Country Club Estates. In 1926, when the first mayor and council
were elected, there were a total of 128 residences. Many pioneers were
employed by the Seaboard and Florida Coast Railroads whose yards were
adjacent to the city.
Glenn Curtiss was instrumental in developing
the airport to the south and as the airport grew, so did Miami Springs.
Pan Am's famous overseas "Clipper" flights originated southeast
of the city until moving later to Coconut Grove's Dinner Key.
In the midst of the remarkable growth of the aviation industry, much of
Curtiss' careful planning constraints are visible today and continue to
influence the Springs character and commitment to green areas and orderly
growth.
