A little over a century ago, Miami Beach was nothing more than a sandbar in the Atlantic Ocean.

It wasn't until developer Carl Fisher got involved — helping to fund a bridge that connected the sandbar to the mainland and pumping out muck from the bay — that terra firma appeared. And thus, Miami Beach was chartered on March 26, 1915. A self-made millionaire, Fisher was also involved in the development of the luxury hotels and high-end estates that began to dominate the barrier island's coastline. Over the next 100 years, this type of development defined Miami Beach as tourists flocked to its artificial sandy shores. With time, Miami Beach became a trendy hot spot for tourists, beachgoers, nightclubbers, and art lovers — a far cry from its humble beginnings.
