Long before Miami became one of the world's most famous cities, it was a remote frontier settlement along the Miami River. In this episode of Tales From South Florida, we explore the lives of William and Mary Brickell, their friendship with Julia Tuttle, their partnership with Henry Flagler, and the events that led to the founding of Miami in 1896.
Discover what Miami was called before incorporation, how the Great Freeze helped change Florida's future, and why the Brickell name remains one of the most recognized names in South Florida today.
