Homestead

Few cities in Florida have a history as closely tied to Hurricane Andrew’s 1992 landfall as Homestead. Set on South Florida’s limestone plain, it occupies the mainland between Everglades National Park and Biscayne National Park, with Biscayne Bay to the east. Agriculture remains part of its identity: farms in the surrounding Redland area grow tropical fruit and vegetables. Incorporated in 1913, Homestead developed alongside the early rail route toward the Florida Keys. Its historic downtown includes the restored Seminole Theatre, while rebuilding after Andrew remains a defining chapter in local memory.
