Miami is the only major American city founded by a woman In 1875, Julia Tuttle first laid eyes on Miami when her father moved into the area as a homesteader. Tuttle decided to move to Miami herself and bought several acres of land. Miami officially became a destination when she convinced multi-millionaire Henry M.
