About Sunny Isles Beach, FL

In 1920, Harvey Baker Graves, a private investor, purchased a 2.26-square-mile (5.9 km 2) tract of land for development as a tourist resort. He named it Sunny Isles, the America Riviera. When the Haulover bridge was completed in 1925, the area became accessible from Miami Beach, attracting developers who widened streams, dug canals and inlets and created islands and peninsulas for building waterfront properties on Biscayne Bay. In the 1920s, Carl G. Fisher built an all-wooden racetrack with stands for 12,000 spectators, known as the Fulford-Miami Speedway.
