When did Miami lose its southern culture?

[WINTERFRONT]

So, from reading everyone’s post here, Miami was not established as as a southern town. It didn’t grow economically and historically so, until a population of them bought lot areas from northerners and mid-westerners.

I guess that from this info we can say that Miami was never southern, but southerners had a role in developing Dade, just as much Cubans do nowadays. Though , for for just that reason alone, Dade is not a Cuban county.

hummm....

No but there were hardly any farmers in the Miami area to begin. It was Flagler & his railroad that made Miami a city.

There has always been in money in Miami.

Bob, that's true...that's the people responsible for developing Miami. They weren't the majority of the population, which was southern farmers and those people were the culture.
When Flagler decided to extend the rail to Key West. Miami was not even a city and had a population of about 50 people. Flagler was going to Key West, not Miami. There were huge tomato and pineapple farms in the Keys that could not get their produce to the northern market. Plantation Key is still known as the Garden Island because the Webster's farm took up almost all of it....Johnson's owned the farms on Big Pine.
Miami and Miami Beach were promoted as a rich person's play ground for the winter...the rail opened that up...but for the most part, those people did not settle here, nor did they farm...and Miami was mostly farming by southeners....Milam Dairy Road, went to Milam's dairy farm

I remember that, Cubans and Rednecks had perfect relations. I even remember an American candidate for major or commissioner handung out pan con lechon in palm avenue. People in Hialeah were nice. La ciudad que progresa.
