Coconut Grove

Áttekintés

Produced by the Junior League of Miami, this history of Coconut Grove uses still photographs, interspersed with live action shots of contemporary Coconut Grove. Documenting the earliest settlers as the Pent and Frow families, and after the Homestead Act of 1862, the Beasley, Peacock and Munroe families, its growth is seen with the development of black communities and both civic and social structures as the Housekeeper's Club and the Library. Incorporated as a city in 1919 and annexed by Miami in 1925, the area remains as a unique residential and recreational community on the bay.
