About Coral Gables
History
The Coral Gables area formed part of the ancestral homeland of the Tequesta people before later becoming agricultural land covered by pine forests, citrus groves, and family farms. During the 1920s, visionary developer George E. Merrick transformed his family’s property into a carefully planned community inspired by the City Beautiful movement and Mediterranean architecture. Bahamian stonemasons and hundreds of laborers helped construct its coral-rock entrances, homes, bridges, and landmarks. Incorporated in 1925, Coral Gables evolved into a prestigious center for education, international business, culture, and luxury residential living.
