Its Indian name, meaning "Pretty Prairie", gives a clue to
the geographic profile of Hialeah at the time of its development in 1921 by Glenn Curtiss
and James Bright. From its beginning as a wet and grassy 20 square-mile field in Northwest
Miami-Dade County, it has grown into a thriving industrial community concentrating on
light industry. Currently the second largest city in Miami-Dade County with a population of over 204,684, the city strives to maintain the positive industrial environment which has been the key to its growth. The interaction of a thriving industrial community, the adjacency to Miami International Airport, and a wonderful climate, has made the area attractive to the industrial work force. The residential areas of Hialeah features apartment complexes and modest homes. More than 100 acres are devoted to parks, playgrounds and recreational facilities. Evidences of Hialeah`s early Mission architectural style dot the area, giving it a sense of history and character. Neighborhood commercial centers provide quick and convenient shopping. Shopping on a grand scale is available at three nearby major malls. Throughout Hialeah, an Hispanic cultural ambience is evident. Both English and Spanish are commonplace within the industrial, commercial and residential environments. The many who have made Hialeah thriving industrial community have also found it to be an attractive place in which to live. Hialeah has a unique feature. It is centered by one of the most beautiful horse racing tracks in the world. Built in 1925 during the carefree, razzle-dazzle days of the twenties, its unique architecture and lush tropical setting make it a picturesque environment for the thrills of horse racing. As an Audubon Bird Sanctuary, the 220-acre facility is a verdant island setting within an urban environment. It provides a safe haven for a myriad of exotic birds including the flamingo. Long identified as a symbol of the race track, the fragile bird has been able to thrive within the protected confines of the track. In a flurry of pink, the flamingos make their daily flight, a unique symbol of an area which combines a tropical environment with industrial growth. |
