Often called "The Gables," Coral Gables is a
city in Miami-Dade County, Florida, southwest
of Miami, in the United States. The city is best
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.
