Miami Gardens

Among the cities of Florida, Miami Gardens stands out for Hard Rock Stadium, a major South Florida venue for professional football, college football and international sporting events. The city occupies the low coastal plain of northern Miami-Dade County, west of Biscayne Bay, in the wider metropolitan area shaped by the Atlantic coast and the Everglades. Incorporated in 2003, Miami Gardens is home to the NFL’s Miami Dolphins; the stadium also hosts the University of Miami Hurricanes and the annual Miami Open tennis tournament. Diverse residential neighborhoods and a major-event calendar give the city a character distinct from Miami’s beachfront districts.

Florida occupies a low-lying peninsula in the southeastern United States, bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the east and the Gulf of Mexico to the west. Lake Okeechobee lies near its centre, and water from this basin historically flowed south through the Everglades, a vast subtropical wetland protected in part by Everglades National Park. The Florida Keys extend southwest from the mainland, while long sandy coasts and inland freshwater systems shape everyday life across the state. St. Augustine, founded by Spain in 1565, is widely recognised as the oldest continuously inhabited European-established settlement in the United States.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
