Where now the city of Homestead stands, there once used to be nothing but a wilderness hosting innumerable pine trees and palmetto shrubs. After Henry Flagler extended his railway line to the Miami-Dade County, along with it came growth, development and prosperity. The raw wilderness slowly gave way to a town, which kept expanding in size, until decades later it grew into a city unlike any other. With a rustic charm, natural beauty, warm climate and an urban essence, the city of Homestead is one among the best places to live in the County.
