A century ago, South Florida experienced an unprecedented land boom as developers and investors arrived by train and automobile to build new communities across the region.
WLRN’s History We Call Home: 100 Years of South Florida commemorates the centennial celebrations of 11 cities across Palm Beach, Broward, and Miami-Dade counties in 2025 and 2026 by exploring the people, events, and histories that shaped the region.
The series goes beyond traditional historical narratives to highlight stories of struggle, inequity, resilience, and community-building, helping audiences better understand the complexities and evolution of South Florida over the past century.
