Meet Julia Tuttle
Vision | Resilience | Legacy

Armed with determination —and a bouquet of orange blossoms— Julia Tuttle persuaded Henry Flagler to bring his railroad south, founding the City of Miami in 1896. This inspiring, true Florida story reveals the only woman in American history to found a major city.
