Fun fact
Miami is the only American city founded by a woman—the American businesswoman Julia Tuttle, nicknamed the Mother of Miami. Once the city was created, developers turned their attention to the nearby, mangrove-infested sandbar, clearing and expanding it into the man-made beach mecca it is today: Miami Beach.
