El Portal Property Appraisals and Home Appraisers
El Portal is a village in Miami-Dade County,
Florida, USA. The village name is derived
from the Spanish phrase for "the gate," after
two wooden gates that once stood as a
gateway to the village. The population was
2,505 at the 2000 census. As of 2004, the
population recorded by the U.S. Census
Bureau is 2,468.
El Portal is a small, diverse enclave between
Miami Shores and Miami. It was incorporated
on December 7, 1937, by residents eager for
strict zoning that would ensure tidiness. Three
small subdivisions (now neighborhoods),
included Sherwood Forest, El Jardin (Spanish
for "The Garden"), and El Portal -- merged into
the Village of El Portal. Its borders include
91st Street on the north, 85th Street on the
south, Northeast Fifth Avenue on the east and
Northwest Fifth Avenue on the west.

The village's name is derived from a Spanish term used to describe "The Gate," after two huge
wooden gates on Northeast Second Avenue that were taken down in the 1940s.
The village was also designated as a bird sanctuary by the state for more than 50 years, which means
that the birds and trees cannot be harmed in any way. A nature trail winds its way through the village. El
Portal also boasts links to prehistoric Indian life at the Little River Mound, a four-foot-high, innocuous
grassy knoll that is actually an ancient burial ground. The Little River Mound, located in the Sherwood
Forest neighborhood, is the first archaeological site to be publicly recognized and preserved in
Miami-Dade County.
The population was 2,505 at the 2000 census. As of 2005, the population recorded by the U.S. Census
Bureau is 2,427.
