Known as the home of the University of Miami, and as an example of City Beautiful urban planning. The population was 42,249 at the 2000 census.
According to U.S Census estimates in 2005, the city had a population of 42,871.
Coral Gables was one of the first planned communities, and prefigured the development of the gated community and the homeowners association. It
is notorious for its aesthetic regulations.[citation needed] The city was developed by George Edgar Merrick during the Florida land boom of the 1920s.
The city's architecture is almost entirely Mediterranean. By 1926, the city covered 10,000 acres, had netted $150 million in sales with over $100 million
spent on development.
Merrick designed the downtown commercial district to be only four blocks wide and more than two miles long. The area is now serviced by a free
trolley system that runs down Ponce de Leon Boulevard, the main artery disecting the business district. Merrick could boast that every business in
Coral Gables was less than a two block walk. The old trolley system was replaced by the popularity of modern automobiles until a new free trolley
system was initiated in November, 2003. Now, Coral Gables is known as a pedestrian-friendly destination. Located only four miles from Miami
International Airport, the "City Beautiful" boasts more than 140 dining establishments and gourmet shops, plus many notable international retailers.
Among the beautiful and distinctive landmarks in Coral Gables are the Venetian Pool, Douglas Entrance, the Biltmore Hotel, and many fine
residences.
In 1925, roughly simultaneous to the founding of Coral Gables, the city was selected as the home to the University of Miami, which was constructed
that year on 240 acres of land just west of U.S. Route 1, approximately two miles south of downtown Coral Gables.
