Homestead
Homestead is best known in South Florida for the farms and fruit-growing country surrounding the city. At the southern end of mainland Miami-Dade County, it lies between the Everglades to the west and Biscayne Bay to the east, in an area shaped by flat limestone terrain and drainage canals. Florida’s Turnpike Homestead Extension, signed State Road 821, links this southern suburban and agricultural district with greater Miami; its southern approach meets US 1 near Florida City. Incorporated in 1913, Homestead grew around the Florida East Coast Railway and remains associated with nurseries, tropical fruit and seasonal farm stands. The nearby national parks make it a useful base for exploring the southern peninsula.

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.

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.
