Originally a mangrove swamp and farmland, Miami Beach was incorporated in 1915. The 1920s saw the construction of many art deco buildings, characterized by pastel colors, geometric shapes and decorative details.
Today, the Art Deco Historic District is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and one of the largest concentrations of 1920s and 1930s resort architecture in the world.
After World War II, Miami Beach continued to grow, with mid-century architecture marvels such as the opulent Fontainebleau and Eden Roc hotels, designed by Morris Lapidus.
