City of Miami / Coconut Grove

Coconut Grove:
Miami’s Historic Heart

Coconut Grove, Miami’s oldest neighborhood, was established in the late 1800s and quickly attracted settlers, artists, and intellectuals drawn to its lush waterfront setting. Bahamian immigrants were some of the earliest residents, and the neighborhood soon became a cultural and artistic center. With landmarks like the Barnacle Historic State Park, Coconut Grove preserves its historic charm while serving as a lively community within Miami.

Commissioner Regalado’s dedication to Coconut Grove and the larger City of Miami is shaped by her deep respect for the area’s rich cultural heritage and diverse population. Her work in this neighborhood includes supporting local initiatives like the Coconut Grove Crisis Food Pantry and remodeling the Douglas Metro Station to improve accessibility for residents.

Regalado’s collaborations with local organizations demonstrate her commitment to strengthening community services, especially for underprivileged youth. Her dedication to Coconut Grove reflects her belief in celebrating its historic roots while ensuring its residents have access to essential resources.
