Virginia Gardens is a village in Miami-Dade County, Florida, United States. The village is a part of the Miami metropolitan area of South Florida. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the village had a population of 2,364 in 2020. [2]
In 1947, Miami Springs (of which it was then a part) passed an ordinance outlawing horses from the city limits. In response, about 50 citizens decided to break away and form their own village. [5]
The village is named for the state of Virginia, original home of many of the wealthy transplants who made up the founding residents. At the time of incorporation, many of the residents owned large estates, some up to 5 acres (20,000 m2), suitable for horse ownership. Only a single 1-acre (4,000 m2) residential property remains within the village limits today; the bulk of residential property now consists of 0.2-acre (810 m2) lots typical of suburban developments. [5]
