South Miami Real Estate | Condos Sale and Rent
In 1933, the original six square miles of South Miami were reduced to just over three miles (5 km) due to an effort to reduce municipal responsibilities. The city’s size was reduced again in 1937, and many of the northern city residents sued to get out of the city. This is why the city of South Miami has the most irregular boundaries of any city in Miami-Dade County today.
The Great Hurricane of September 1926 dealt a punishing blow to the Town of South Miami. Only the courage and determination of its citizens permitted the Town to survive the disaster. Although the Town requested federal assistance, asking Congress to “relieve the people of their income tax for the current year”, none was received. To make matters worse, the Florida East Coast Railway station burned down, leaving the town without a station for many years. South Miami is a small municipality of approximately two square miles in Miami-Dade County, Florida, tucked between the vastness of Kendall and the confines of Coral Gables. Once known as “Larkins,” one of the earliest settlements in the county, the community generates a feeling of permanence. The city of South Miami has grown from a small farming community to a vibrant suburb with quiet neighborhoods and a popular shopping and restaurant district.
