Miami
Few places in Florida have a history as closely tied to the arrival of the Florida East Coast Railway as Miami. The rail line reached the settlement in 1896, the year Miami was incorporated, linking it to the wider state and accelerating its growth. The city lies between the Everglades to the west and Biscayne Bay on the Atlantic side; the Miami River runs through its urban core to the bay. The I-95 and State Road 112 interchange is a major road junction on the approach to Miami International Airport. Miami’s identity has been shaped by migration from Cuba, the Caribbean and Latin America, especially in Little Havana, where Spanish is part of everyday public life.

The terrain around Miami is a flat, low-lying coastal plain beside Biscayne Bay, which has shaped both its dense waterfront development and its economy of trade, tourism and maritime services. The Miami River meets the bay near downtown, where high-rise Brickell and the central business district mark the city’s modern core. PortMiami, on islands in Biscayne Bay, is a major cruise and cargo port. Miami’s Cuban-American heritage is especially present in Little Havana, centred on Calle Ocho, while the 1925 Freedom Tower became an important reception centre for Cuban refugees in the 1960s.

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.
