Miami, FLORIDA - Crandon Park - 1952 - colorful beachfront tram

Description: Miami, FLORIDA - Crandon Park - 1952 : Crandon Park is an 808-acre (3.27 km2) urban park in metropolitan Miami, occupying the northern part of Key Biscayne. It is connected to mainland Miami via the Rickenbacker Causeway. The land Crandon Park occupies was once part of the largest coconut plantation in the United States, operated by William John Matheson and his heirs. In 1940 the Matheson family donated 808.8 acres (327.3 ha) of their land to Dade County (now Miami-Dade County) for a public park. In return, county commissioner Charles H. Crandon promised that the county would build a causeway to Key Biscayne. World War II delayed construction, but the causeway opened in 1947. Crandon Park included a zoo, occupying 48 acres (19 ha) of the park. The first animals in the zoo, including some lions, an elephant and a rhinoceros, had been stranded when a circus went out of business in Miami. Some Galapagos tortoises, monkeys and pheasants were added from the Matheson plantation. Other animals were added, including a white Bengal tiger. In 1981 the Crandon Park Zoo was moved from the park to a location south of Miami, and became the Miami Metro Zoo, later renamed the Miami-Dade Zoological Park and Gardens. This Linen Era postcard, published in 1952, is in good condition. Genuine Curteich-Chicago "C.T. Art-Colortone" Chicago. No. 2C-H710. Golf Stream Café & Distribution Co. Miami, Florida. M-69.
