  The place for Miami's historical who's who. The City Cemetery mirrors the development and racial make up of Miami. The Cemetery is divided into different sections by both race and religion. You'll find a black section, a Catholic section, and a Jewish section among others. Some of the biggest names of Miami's history can be found here, like Julia Tuttle herself - the mother of Miami. The ground are well maintained and feel safe.

  Miami City Cemetery is the final resting place for many of Miami's founders and those who played instrumental roles in its rise to greatness. Look about its lawns and the tombs of Julia Tuttle, the Burdine, Peacock, Duval, Sewell, and Jackson families--all pioneers of Miami--invite remembrance. Veterans of the Civil War--both Union and Confederate--share the same ground. Veterans of the Spanish-American War, World War I and World War II lie throughout. Joseph C. Meredith--Chief Engineer of the Key West Extension--rests next to his wife, Ella. His gravestone was placed there by a grieving Henry Flagler, owner of the Florida East Coast Railway and financier of the Extension. Founded on 10 acres in 1887 by a purchase from Mary Brickell--another Miami founder--City Cemetery tells the story of Miami from its earliest days to its rich and glittery present.

  A short walk and a free Metromover train ride from the port of Miami allowed me to take a quick tour of the City of Miami Cemetery burial site of many of Miami's African-American and Bahamian incorporators as well as Julia Tuttle - The Mother of Miami.
  
  I found the cemetery mostly tidy and well kept. Gates at both ends of the cemetery were open making it a convienient walk-through for local residents. Grass was well cared for and most grave markers were easily read. A map would have made historic grave sites and the 5 limestone grave stones easier to find but the historic marker gave a wealth of information.
