Virginia Gardens breaks away over a ban on horses
1947
Virginia Gardens, Florida
Miami Springs passed an ordinance in 1947 outlawing horses inside the city limits, and about fifty residents on the horse-keeping side of the line left and made their own village instead. Virginia Gardens was incorporated on 10 July 1947. In the 1960s the county port authority took 450 acres of it for airport expansion, and the estates that were left got carved into ordinary suburban lots.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
Location: city-level
