Easily Book Pest Control in Hialeah, FL

Hialeah is a shining example of the American melting pot. About 73.4% of the city's population is Cuban or Cuban American. As a result, Cuban culture has a significant influence on Hialeah's own culture. In addition, Latino people as a whole make up 94.7% of the population. Naturally, the Spanish language is an integral part of daily life in the city. Hialeah is one of the largest Spanish-speaking communities in the United States today.

Hialeah's name comes from the Muskogee word for "pretty prairie" because it sits in a prairie between Biscayne Bay and the Everglades. It was initially a place for Native Americans from the Everglades to trade wares with newcomers to Miami. Then, in 1921, pioneer aviator Glenn Curtiss and cattleman James H. Bright moved in and began developing the town of Hialeah. They also opened the Hialeah Park Race Track, one of the oldest recreational facilities in South Florida. Because of the race track, the city became a hub for entertainment such as greyhound and horse racing. The track is now on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places. In the later 20th century, World War II veterans and Cuban exiles fleeing Fidel Castro's 1959 revolution flocked to the city in huge numbers. They transformed it from a playground for the rich into a thriving working-class community. As the only American industrial city that continues to grow to this day, Hialeah is one of the country's most successful immigrant enclaves.

Though out-of-towners often overlook the quiet city, it has plenty of attractions for locals to enjoy. People can visit the Hialeah Park Racetrack, which hosts horse races and gambling, just like it did in the early 1900s when it became famous. When people want to get outside, they can spend some time in Amelia Earhart Park. This popular park features biking trails, sports fields, a petting zoo, and a 90-acre lake where people can waterski and wakeboard. There's something for antique enthusiasts, too. Explore Flamingo Plaza's thrift stores for vintage clothes, records, toys, and other treasures. For art-lovers, there is the developing Leah Arts District, with vibrant murals painted by local artists at every turn.

It's no surprise that Cuban cuisine dominates Hialeah's food scene. Molina's Ranch Restaurant, a fancier spot for Hialeah, serves local favorites such as bistec artesano and moros. Cuban sandwich shop Morro Castle is famous for its delicious fritas Cubanas, made completely from scratch. La Fresa Francesca Petit Cafe on the south side is a newer addition to the area. Locals adore its sweet and savory crepes and creative takes on traditional Cuban sandwiches. When you've had your fill of Cuban food, you can try out Stephen's Delicatessen, a classic Jewish deli that's been around for over 60 years.
