Introduction to Miami, Florida
Miami, located on Biscayne Bay in southeastern Florida, is the state’s second-largest city (370,000) and the center of a large metropolitan area (nearly 1,000,000) that includes Miami Beach and Fort Lauderdale. Named after a Native American word meaning “big water,” Miami was founded in 1870 and quickly became (and still remains) one of America’s top vacation spots. An influx of 250,000+ Cuban refugees in 1960 helped define the city’s bilingual melting pot.
Today, Miami is a hip urban center with a multicultural ambience and a strong economy based on banking, tourism and a other industries as diverse as its population. Several top companies are headquartered in the area, including Burger King, Norwegian Cruise Line, Ryder and Wachovia.
