Miami, Florida
Miami, the very name conjures excitement. It is one the most culturally diverse and exciting cities in the country. Home to over four hundred and fifty thousand people, it is the largest municipality in Miami-Dade County in Southeast Florida. Nestled between the Florida Everglades and the Atlantic Ocean on the Miami River, it offers an enviable lifestyle of work and fun to its residents.
About the Community
Miami is known as the Gateway to Latin America with over 60% of its population of Hispanic descent. This includes Cubans, Nicaraguans, Colombians, Venezuelans, Puerto Ricans, Argentineans, Ecuadorians, Brazilians, Dominicans, Haitians, and Mexicans. When Fidel Castro took over Cuba in 1959, life changed not only in Cuba but in Miami as well. More than half a million Cuban exiles fled to Miami to start a new life and Miami soon became the ‘Capital of the Americas’ – sea change from the time of its incorporation in 1896.
