In the years leading up to WW2 Miami experienced a rapid growth. 1.681 people lived in the city in 1900. That number had grown to almost 30.000 people in 1920. The city became known as The Magic City during this period.
The surge in inhabitants prompted the need for more land and canals were made to drain water from the surrounding areas. Miami Beach was developed in 1913.
