The name "Miami" comes from a Native American word for "sweet water" for the Miami River's funneling effect of water from the Everglades into the Atlantic Ocean.
During the 1800's Miami was largely uninhabited. In 1870, Ohio natives William and Mary Brickell opened a small trading post and post office along the banks of the Miami River. This area later became know as "Millionaires Row" where large mansions were built. Later they gave way to the luxury Miami condos and towering office buildings which are the financial center of the Americas today, majestically overlooking Biscayne Bay and the Port of Miami. Today, Miami is known as the “Magic City” and is one of the world’s renowned centers where people can work, live and play while enjoying a high quality of life.
