Originally home to a range of diverse residents, Coconut Grove has undergone significant evolution from a historic black community to a contemporary nightlife destination.
Coconut Grove was the first black community in Miami-Dade County and home of the Mariah Brown House, a significant landmark for African-Bahamian residents.
In the 1960s, Coconut Grove became a counterculture capital with a vibrant hippie community, known for distributing 'Being Nice' flyers and spontaneous gatherings.
While Coconut Grove has transitioned into a nightlife hub, efforts by civic forces have been made to preserve its unique community character amid development.
