Hialeah is a city in Miami-Dade County, Florida, United States. Hialeah is a mere suburb of the larger metropolitan Miami being only about 20 minutes Northwest. The Indian name Hialeah means “High Prairie” which the Indians saw when coming from the everglades.
In the early "Roaring 20’s", Hialeah produced significant entertainment contributions. The opening of Hialeah Park in 1925 as a horse track received more coverage in the Miami media than any other sporting event in the history of Miami up to that time.
From a population of 1,500 in 1925, Hialeah has grown at a rate faster than most of the ten largest cities in the State of Florida since the 1960’s and holds the rank of Florida’s fifth-largest city. The Hialeah Park Race Track holds the dual distinction of being an Audubon Bird Sanctuary due to its famous pink flamingos and being listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Hialeah is a great place to visit and has different types of accommodations and transportation available. You will find cheap, affordable hotels and lodges to multi star luxury hotels with all the facilities and amenities you want. |
