About Virginia Gardens, FL

In 1947, Miami Springs (of which it was then a part) passed an ordinance outlawing horses from the city limits. In response, about 50 citizens decided to break away and form their own village. The village is named for the Virginia home state of many of the wealthy transplants which made up the founding residents. At the time of incorporation, many of the residents owned large estates, some up to 5 acres (20,000 m 2), suitable for horse ownership. Only a single 1-acre (4,000 m 2) residential property remains within the village limits today; the bulk of residential property now consists of 0.2-acre (810 m 2) lots typical of suburban developments.
