In 1898 the Florida East Coast Railway planned to extend its line from Miami to Key West, with a station 30 miles south of Miami. Flagler suggested naming it for James E. Ingraham, the railroad's land commissioner, but Ingraham proposed Homestead. Supplies for the construction camp at the end of the line were sent to "Homestead Country," since the line ran through land opened to homesteaders, and engineers shortened the name.
More about Homestead
The first station opened in July 1904. That October William D. Horne bought the first lot in the town site and built its first private building, a store, rooming house and post office that still stands as the Redland Hotel. Homestead was incorporated in 1913, the second-oldest city in the county after Miami. The 1926 hurricane and the end of the land boom brought business failures. On August 24, 1992, Category 5 Hurricane Andrew struck South Miami-Dade, and Homestead took the brunt of it. Coral Castle is on the National Register.
