Homestead Personal Injury Law Firm

The City of Homestead was named after the path called the "Homesteaders Trail." In 1898, it was frequently used by travelers to reach the area now known as South Dade when it was opened to homesteaders. About six years later, Henry Flagler began a project extending the railroad from Miami to Key West, which would allow farmers to ship food throughout the state. This attracted many workers to relocate down to the area, ultimately founding the city of Homestead in 1913.

With a population of 65,688, Homestead offers a racially diverse mix of Hispanic, African Americans, and white influences. The median age of the population is 31.1 years old, with approximately 41% of the population employed. The median household income is $40,452 and the median property value is $141,300. Homestead residents are often employed in industries such as retail, healthcare, or education. The most common jobs held include positions in administration, management, sales, and training.

Homestead brings a rich history to southern Florida with its many landmark sites. The Redland Hotel was built in 1904 and served as a boarding house and supply store. The first post office in the region was located in this building from 1905 to 1908. For several years, the Redland Hotel attracted tourists until US 1, the main highway in the area, was moved. The hotel later closed and was vacant until 1995 when it was renovated and now serves as a bed and breakfast.

In 1917, Homestead's Old City Hall was built, designed by famous Miami architect H. Hastings Mundy. The city hall, currently known as the Historic Homestead Town Hall Museum, was the location for the city's fire and police stations. Its first floor had a series of jail cells, with the second floor filled with offices for the mayor, municipal departments, and the city council. The wooden building that served as Homestead's bakery was constructed in 1910 and later purchased by Charles Fuchs in 1913, who felt the bread from the store was too bitter. Named Fuchs Bakery, the store was wildly successful, moving to South Miami in the 1930s under the name of Holsum Bakery. Finally, the Seminole Theatre was built in 1921 and entertained Homestead residents with silent movies. It is one of the only art deco-inspired buildings in the area, designed by Roy A. Benjamin, a famous theater architect. Currently, the theater has several stages for plays or other entertainment events, as well as a concert halls.
