Fulford-by-the-Sea Fountain and Local History
The Fulford-by-the-Sea Fountain was built in 1925 during the Florida Land Boom. It marked the entrance to the Fulford-by-the-Sea settlement, from which the present-day city of North Miami Beach developed. The fountain thus connects a specific local history with the development of today’s city. Its subsequent historic recognitions should be distinguished chronologically: Miami-Dade County designated it a historic site in 1983; in 2010, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places. The year of construction therefore refers to when the fountain was built, while the two later dates refer to separate recognitions.
