Haitian Community of Miami Florida
The farming community of Lemon City was annexed by Miami
in 1925 and today it is an inner city area known
as "Little Haiti" because of its large number of
Haitian immigrants and businesses.
Miami's Little Haiti district is bordered by the I-95 Highway,
the Florida East Coast Railway tracks, 54th Street,
and 87th Street. Little Haiti's business district is
on Northeast 2nd Avenue. The Miami Design District
is located on the south end of Little Haiti.
