Before incorporating into a city, the area that would become North Miami Beach first saw settlers in the 1870s. Among the earliest settlers were Henry and Charles Lum, who had sailed from Key West and camped on the sandbar among the local mangroves. The father and son then opted to buy the land for about $75 an acre. After, with the creation of the continental railroad, more settlers began to move into the area. 

The town of North Miami Beach first came into existence in the early 20th century. It wasn't officially made into a city until 1917, but soon after, the city experienced a major population boom that topped out during the postwar era after World War II. After this boom, the picturesque city started a new focus on tourism. With its beautiful waters and expansive beaches, North Miami Beach started to see a huge influx of yearly visitors.

Today, North Miami Beach is primarily known as a resort location that sees roughly 23 million visitors per year. Along with its beaches, the area is also famous for its extensive parks and culture. For example, the Museum of Contemporary Art (MoCA) calls Miami home. This expansive museum has anywhere between eight and 10 installations that are displayed every year. MoCA also has a jazz concert series that takes place on the last Friday of every month.

North Miami Beach is also home to the Biscayne Bay Campus of Florida International University (FIU). This school has a student body of more than 7,000 and hosts numerous events throughout the year for both students and visitors.
