Who created Coral Gables from his family’s fruit and vegetable farm?
A. George Merrick Inspired by the Garden City and City Beautiful movements of the 19th and early 20th century. Coral Gables was created in 1925 as a fully-planned community. Incorporating secluded residential enclaves and commercial areas inspired by the architectural style of the Mediterranean, Coral Gables’ founder envisioned a City that would offer every amenity to its residents and at the same time would become a center for international business.
