Coral Gables

city, Miami-Dade county, southeastern Florida, U.S., on Biscayne Bay and adjoining Miami (northeast). George E. Merrick developed the site (beginning about 1920) from a nucleus of his family's 160 acres (65 hectares) of citrus and farmland and named it for the family's house of coral rock walls and gables. It is a well-planned residential area, noted for its landscaped plazas and streets with Mediterranean-style architecture and for unique "villages" (compounds of houses built in Florida pioneer, French, South African Dutch, and Chinese styles). Six miles (10 km) of waterways, navigable for small boats, provide access to Biscayne Bay and outside waters
