Carol City (Carol City)
Julius Gaines, the developer, had originally planned to name it Coral City. However, under threat of a lawsuit by Coral Gables, he changed the name, switching the O and A.
In the 1960s, much of Carol City included farmland. As the decades progressed, many people in Miami Gardens blamed the public housing in the area, including the developments around Carol City High School, of importing crime and recreational drugs into the area. In 2007, Mayor Shirley Gibson of Miami Gardens announced she would not allow any more public housing projects to open in Miami Gardens.
On July 27, 1977, six people were killed and a further two were injured during a mass shooting at a house in Carol City. At the time, the shooting was the largest case of mass murder in Miami-Dade County history.

Indigenous peoples have inhabited the Americas for thousands of years. Beginning in 1607, British colonization led to the establishment of the Thirteen Colonies in what is now the Eastern United States. They quarreled with the British Crown over taxation and political representation, leading to the American Revolution and proceeding Revolutionary War. The United States declared independence on July 4, 1776, becoming the first nation-state founded on Enlightenment principles of unalienable natural rights, consent of the governed, and liberal democracy. The country began expanding across North America, spanning the continent by 1848. Sectional division surrounding slavery in the Southern United States led to the secession of the Confederate States of America, which fought the remaining states of the Union during the American Civil War (1861–1865). With the Union's victory and preservation, slavery was abolished nationally by the Thirteenth Amendment.
