Coconut Grove is Miami's oldest inhabited neighborhood in Miami-Dade County, Florida, United States.
The neighborhood is bounded by North Prospect Drive to the south, LeJeune Road to the west, South Dixie Highway (US 1) and the Rickenbacker Causeway to the north, and Biscayne Bay to the east. [1] It is south of the Brickell and The Roads neighborhoods and east of Coral Gables.
The neighborhood's name has sometimes been spelled "Cocoanut Grove," but the final spelling "Coconut Grove" was established when the city was incorporated in 1919. [2] Several waves of immigration established Coconut Grove, the first in 1825, when the Cape Florida lighthouse became operational and was manned by John Dubose. Dr. Horace P. Porter is credited with inventing the name when in 1873 he rented a house from the widow of Edmond D. Beasley, occupying 160 acres of bayfront property. He lived there for only a year, but during that time he established a post office which he named Coconut Grove. [7] [8]
Around the same time, the area saw an influx of Americans from the northeastern United States, as well as British and white immigrants from the Bahamas. The first hotel on the mainland of South Florida was located in Coconut Grove. Called the Bay View Inn (later known as the Peacock Inn), it was built in 1882, on the site of today's Peacock Park, by English immigrants Isabella and Charles Peacock, who had owned a wholesale meat business in London. .
Coconut Grove's first black settlement, in the 1880s, was established by Bahamian laborers who worked at the Peacock Inn. [9] Barnacle State Historic Park is the oldest house in Miami-Dade County still standing in its original location. It was built in 1891 and was the home of Ralph Middleton Munroe, also known as "The Commodore" for being the first Commodore and founder of the Biscayne Bay Yacht Club, an American yacht designer and longtime resident of Coconut Grove. Formerly an independent city, Coconut Grove was annexed by the city of Miami in 1925. *
