== Fun facts ==
* Politically, Miami-Dade has become a strong Democrat powerhouse in most elections.
* Golden Beach is known as a very upscale community, and many of its houses are worth over a million dollars. Several celebrities, including Bill Gates, maintain homes there. Eric Clapton's album 461 Ocean Boulevard was named after the Golden Beach house at that address, a photo of which is also featured on the album cover.
* Rapid population growth began during the 1920s.
* Area-wise, most of the county lies within the Everglades, and it gets very desolate once you get either west of 997, or south of Florida City.
* Medley is home to a Rinker plant, one of its largest businesses. The town is also home to the Titan America Pennsuco Cement Plant.
* Miami-Dade has one of the highest Hispanic populations of any United States county, most of them being of Cuban descent, and the population of them exploding here beginning in the 1960s, not long after Fidel Castro took power.
* Lennar Corporation has its headquarters in Fontainebleau.
