Miami is also one of the largest cities in the United States, and there are so many things you can do here, like going to a sporting event, or exploring new places to eat.
Miami is the only major city in the United States to have been founded by a woman. The city was founded in 1896 by Julia Tuttle, who used her parents’ estate money to purchase 640 acres of land. That area is where Miami city is now located!
The name Miami comes from the Miami River and the Native American tribe called Mayaimi, which lived in the area and settled around the river from the 1600s to the 1700s.
