Hialeah, city, Miami-Dade county, southeastern Florida<\/a>, U.S. It lies on the Miami Canal, just northwest of Miami<\/a>. The area was originally inhabited<\/a> by Tequesta and later by Seminole<\/a> Indians. Settled in 1921 by aviation pioneer Glenn Curtiss<\/a> and Missouri<\/a> cattleman James H. Bright, the name is probably derived from a Seminole term meaning \u201cpretty prairie\u201d or \u201chigh prairie.\u201d The city was severely damaged during a hurricane in 1926. It grew slowly until World War II<\/a> brought industrial development to the region.<\/p>\n Hialeah serves mainly as a residential suburb of Miami, and its population is predominantly Hispanic. Florida National University (1982) is in the city. The Hialeah Park horse-racing track (opened 1925) became famous for its elaborate landscaping and flamingos. Everglades<\/a> National Park is about 15 miles (25 km) southwest of the city. Inc. 1925. Pop. (2010) 224,669; (2020) 223,109.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Table of Contents Table of Contents Ask Anything Hialeah, city, Miami-Dade county, southeastern Florida, U.S. It lies on…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":208299,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[1111,31644,31643,31642,225,227,226],"class_list":["post-208298","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-hialeah","tag-article","tag-britannica","tag-encyclopeadia","tag-encyclopedia","tag-hialeah","tag-hialeah-headlines","tag-hialeah-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/208298","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=208298"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/208298\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/208299"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=208298"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=208298"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=208298"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
