Question: Which Florida town was declared a bird sanctuary by its founders at its incorporation?
Answer: Village of Biscayne Park
Biscayne Park’s founders made it illegal to kill birds within village limits. By a vote of its 113 citizens, the Town of Biscayne Park was incorporated on Dec. 31, 1931. On June 16, 1933, a state charter was granted, changing the name to the Village of Biscayne Park. The village founders declared the entire town a bird sanctuary. To this day, it is still illegal to hunt, trap, or kill any bird within Biscayne Park’s limits.
