The Miami Pioneers began in 1936 as Miami’s first historical society, with membership limited to families that arrived and settled in South Florida before 1900. It’s the oldest and most prestigious historical society in South Florida. Our founding members were the leading pioneer settlers of Miami in its formative years, developing the early infrastructure, business community, culture, and social fabric of South Florida. We honor their commitment and resolve by studying and remembering their legacy while celebrating their significant contributions to our community.
