West Miami

Few cities in South Florida have a history as closely tied to postwar suburban growth as West Miami. Incorporated in 1947, this compact municipality developed within the expanding Miami metropolitan area, where low-lying coastal plain stretches east toward Biscayne Bay. Tamiami Trail, also known as Southwest Eighth Street, is a major local route and part of the historic road linking Miami with Florida’s Gulf Coast. West Miami’s strongly Hispanic character is evident in the Spanish heard in daily life and in its close connections with the wider Cuban American culture of Miami-Dade County.
