Miami Beach is celebrating its 100th birthday today. The island city was incorporated on March 26, 1915.
Miami Beach was connected to mainland MIami in 1913. Following this, initial growth was encouraged by the construction of hotels along Ocean Drive, in what is now known as the Art Deco District. The city continued to increase in population during World War II and the 1960s. Since the 1990s, Miami Beach has seen massive growth in international and national popularity. Today, the city is world-renowned for its beaches, culture and entertainment.
Miami Beach is throwing a birthday celebration tonight on South Beach.
Happy Birthday, Miami Beach. Here's to 100 more.
