Miami Springs, FloridaAt Gerson & Schwartz P.A., our lawyers are proud to offer representation to crime victims in Miami Springs. The city is located in Miami-Dade County and has a population of more than 14,300 people. The community was founded by Glenn Hammond Curtiss, who was known as the Father of Naval Aviation. He founded Miami Springs, originally known as Country Club estates, in 1920s when many of the first planned communities were just getting off the ground. The community was later incorporated in August 1926 and eventually had its name changed to reflect a local water source.
Since the beginning, Miami Springs has been closely linked to the aviation industry, particularly because of its close proximity to Miami International Airport. When some major airlines went bankrupt, it harmed the local economy.
