A Hundred Years and Beyond
Look who just celebrated its 90th anniversary of incorporation!
Yes, that's right!
Miami Shores Village celebrated its 90th anniversary last January 2, as the thriving community was incorporated on the same date back in 1932.
However, its history precedes incorporation.
The Miami Shores Village, on the shores of Biscayne Bay, had its first settlers in the early 1870s.
The Sturtevants, the Barnotts, the Potters, the Sears, the Woods, and the Hunts.
They were some of the earliest homesteaders in the area.
And William Henry Hunt, together with William Henry Gleason, infamous carpetbaggers, were instrumental in founding the community.

The Original Biscayne and the Great Depression
Did you know that the present Miami Shores area corresponds with the original "Biscayne" neighborhood of Miami city?
However, during the first weeks of the Great Depression, the City of Miami gave up its jurisdiction of the area before the village's incorporation in 1932.
Previously, part of the area that now comprises the City of North Miami had been known as Miami Shores.
While the esteemed village is frequently referred to as "Miami Shores" or the "Village of Miami Shores," the municipality's official name under its charter is "Miami Shores Village."
