1921 - the Hialeah welcome on County Road (later Okeechobee Road)

Hialeah, Florida


This image is a William A. Fishbaugh photograph donated to the Florida State Archives. I cropped and enhanced it for website display.

From the Florida Archives: "On the left is the Hialeah welcome sign, depicting Seminole Indian Jack Tigertail in traditional dress. The building on the right is apparently the welcome station/real estate development office for Hialeah. At extreme left is the Miami Canal."

If you could only see what this intersection and stretch of road looking north looks like in 2014, you'd be sick! Jack Tigertail was replaced by a concrete pad and a streetlight. The Welcome Station area is a parking lot for a high-rise roach motel and urban development has changed it all. Nothing stays the same, does it?
