Cutler Bay is an incorporated town in Miami-Dade County, Florida, United States, established in 2005.
The park holds archeological evidence of Native American habitation of the land 10,000 years ago.
[3] In the early 1900s, the Florida East Coast Railway was extended south to Cutler, which was located near what is now the Charles Deering Estate.
The town's northern border runs from SW 184th Street (Eureka Drive) east of US 1 to the coast.
[4] The town's boundaries include the northeast section of Biscayne National Park,[19] areas formerly known as Cutler Ridge[4] to the west, and the neighborhood and former CDP of Lakes by the Bay[20] to the east.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the town of Cutler Bay has a total area of 10.3 square miles (27 km2).
Flood hazards include rainfall from tropical storms, hurricanes, and other heavy rain events.
[30] As of 2000, speakers of English as a first language accounted for 58.89%, while Spanish made up 38.18%, and French Creole comprised 1.31% of the population.
[32] The Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office operates the South District Station in Cutler Bay.
[33] In January 2006, Cutler Bay elected former Florida state legislator John F. Cosgrove as its first mayor.
[35][36] Elected in November 2018, the current office of Mayor is held by former Council member Tim Meerbott.
The city government planned to make money by leasing space in the building, but buyers did not materialize.
In 2020, with the support of many residents, the Town traded the building for 16 acres (6.5 ha) of land, with the vision to transform it into a park and municipal complex.
