Opa-locka was founded in 1926 by the aviation pioneer Glenn Curtiss, who had turned to real estate during the Florida land boom. Its Arabian or Moorish architecture was the work of the architect Bernhardt E. Muller, whom Curtiss met in 1925 at the suggestion of his mother, Lua Andrews Curtiss. Accounts differ on where the theme came from. Some say Muller was inspired by the Arabian Nights; others credit Curtiss's own reading of the book, or the 1924 film The Thief of Baghdad.
