b. Established in 1897 on land once owned by the Brickell family, the
City of Miami Cemetery is one of Miami's most significant landmarks. It
is the final resting place for members of nearly all the important pioneer
families in the city. Among the prominent citizens interred here is Julia
Tuttle, the “Mother of Miami.” Intricately carved headstones
and classically styled mausoleums serve as a reminder of Miami's early
days, and the cemetery remains a lasting reference to the city's pioneer
era. This cemetery was listed in the National Register of Historic
Places in 1989.
