Show moreThis thesis explores the impact of the Great Depression on the resort city of Miami Beach, Florida. The city was not immune to the effects of the economic collapse of the 1930s. However, an examination of building department records, city employee salaries, tax collections, and other indicators demonstrate that Miami Beach suffered only temporarily in the early 1930s, while the rest of the nation plunged into economic depression. The city's early developer, Carl Fisher, sold expensive house lots and planned a playground for rich winter residents. The depression undermined these plans, and resulted in an economy dependent on less affluent tourists residing in moderately priced hotels. The city had good political leadership and advertised its attractions effectively. As a result, Miami Beach experienced only a short period of hard times and then continued to grow during the depressing years.
