Description
Miami Gardens is a city in Miami-Dade County, Florida, located in a flat region around 2 meters (6.5 feet) above sea level. The city spreads across several residential neighborhoods, commercial corridors, and parks connected by wide roads and rows of palm trees.
History
The area grew from rural land into suburban developments starting in the 1940s before incorporating as an independent city in 2003. The incorporation merged several community sections under a single municipal government.
