| Miami
is the only U.S. city to have been planned by a woman. Julia Tuttle,
a Clevelander, arrived there in 1891 and bought several hundred acres
on the bank of the Miami River. She convinced New York financier Henry
M. Flagler of the area's vast potential and persuaded him to extend
his Florida East Coast Railroad to Miami in 1896, the year the city
was incorporated. Flagler dredged Miami Harbor, built the renowned
Royal Palm Hotel, and promoted the area as a winter playground. |
