The City of Miami Springs was founded in 1926 by aviation pioneer, inventor and land developer Glenn H. Curtiss. With a focus on environmental preservation, it has earned recognition as a Tree City USA.
Located “in the heart of it all,” Miami Springs is adjacent to Miami International Airport, Hialeah, Virginia Gardens and Medley and offers visitors a glimpse into Miami’s peaceful side, with a wonderful small-town flavor. Miami Springs homes and buildings were built in a style of architecture called Pueblo Revival. The restored Curtiss Mansion, which belonged to founder Glenn Curtiss, is an important Miami landmark and event venue and one of the city's most revered representations of this architectural style.
Explore the city’s main thoroughfare, Curtiss Parkway, and discover more historical sights. Another sprawling Pueblo Revival building that was formerly home to the Miami Springs Country Club is the The Fair Haven Nursing Home. You will also find the Miami Springs Golf and Country Club, a historic 18-hole course that hosted the Miami Open for thirty years, until 1955.
