About Key Biscayne
Florida
While
there had been earlier
schemes to develop a
town on Key Biscayne, it
wasn't until the opening
of the four-mile long
Rickenbacker Causeway
from Miami to
 Virginia
Key and on to Key
Biscayne in 1947 that
the island was opened up
to large scale
residential development. The northern two-thirds
of the island had been
operated as the largest
coconut plantation in
the continental United
States during the first
half of the 20th
century.
In 1940 the
Matheson family donated
over 800 acres of their
land to Dade County for
a public park (Crandon
Park) in exchange for a
commitment that the
county would build a
causeway to the island.
The remaining Matheson
property, stretching
across the middle of the
island, was then sold
off to developers.
Starting in 1951, the Mackle Construction
Company offered new
homes on the island for
US$9,540, with just
US$500 down. A U.S. Post
Office contract branch
was opened, the
Community Church started
holding services in an
old coconut-husking
shed, and the Key
Biscayne Elementary
School opened in 1952. The area
was incorporated as a
new municipality in 1991
- the first new city in
Miami-Dade County in
over fifty years. Rafael
Conte was elected the
first mayor along with
members of the founding
Village Council
including Clifford
Brody, Mortimer Fried,
Michael Hill, Luis
Lauredo, Joe Rasco, and
Raymond Sullivan. The
municipality's first
manager was C. Samuel
Kissinger and the first
clerk was Guido Inguanzo.
The incorporation of the
Village provided local
control over taxes and
future development.
