Discover Miami Springs

Miami Springs is a city with an extraordinary heritage, founded in 1926 by Glenn Hammond Curtiss, one of America's most remarkable aviation pioneers. Originally called "Country Club Estates," the planned community was built around the Miami Springs Golf & Country Club and featured innovative Pueblo Revival architecture that set it apart from any other South Florida city.

Glenn Curtiss was a true renaissance manβ€”motorcycle speed record holder (136 mph in 1907), aviation pioneer who rivaled the Wright Brothers, inventor with hundreds of patents, and visionary developer who also founded Hialeah and Opa-locka. His 1925 Pueblo Revival mansion remains a cherished historic landmark on the National Register of Historic Places.

Today, Miami Springs maintains its small-town character with tree-lined streets, unique Southwestern architecture, and a strong sense of community. The city celebrates its heritage while embracing the future, preparing for its Centennial celebration in 2026 with new monuments honoring Glenn Curtiss and his legacy.

Miami Springs celebrates 100 years in 2026! The city is preparing a new Glenn Curtiss & June Bug Legacy Memorial featuring a life-sized bronze monument and walk-through installation honoring the aviation pioneer who gave the community wings.
