SOUTHEAST FLORIDA HERITAGE SITES

Southeast Florida heritage begins with the early native Americans who dwelled in the area 12,000 years ago.

Many of the early settlers in this area came down in the years after the railroad reached Miami in the late 1890's.

Additional waves of people from the Northeast, especially New York, came down in more recent years.

The biggest influx of immigrants came from Castro's Cuba in the 1960's and later.

The Southeast Florida heritage is shared by all 5 counties in the region. Each county has its fair share of sites that are an important part of Florida history.
