Question: Julia Tuttle is the founder of what Florida city?
Answer: Miami
On January 22, 1849, Julia Tuttle was born in Cleveland, Ohio. Tuttle, referred to as “The Mother of Miami,” was one of the key founders of the City of Miami when she donated half of her land to Henry Flagler to help convince him to extend his railway, and construct a “fine hotel” along the banks of the Miami River. This enticement led to the incorporation of the Magic City on July 28, 1896. To this day, Miami is the only major U.S. city founded by a woman.
