Crime Scene and Trauma Cleanup in North Miami Beach, FL

North Miami Beach was originally named Fulford-by-the-Sea in 1926, after Captain William H. Fulford of the U.S. Coast Guard, and it was renamed North Miami Beach on June 15, 1931.

The first non-indigenous settlement at North Miami Beach was platted in 1881, and the town's population exploded after World War II, growing from just 871 people in 1940 to 21,405 by 1960.

North Miami Beach is home to the Ancient Spanish Monastery, a Cistercian cloister built in Sacramenia, Spain between 1133 and 1141, making it one of the oldest buildings in the Western Hemisphere.

Newspaper magnate William Randolph Hearst bought the monastery in 1925 and had it dismantled stone by stone into 11,000 crates, but the stones sat forgotten in a Brooklyn warehouse for 26 years before being bought and reassembled in North Miami Beach in 1952 - a job Time magazine called the 'biggest jigsaw puzzle in history'.

Cistercian monks lived in the monastery for nearly 700 years in Spain before it was shipped across the Atlantic to Florida.

North Miami Beach sits beside Oleta River State Park, Florida's largest urban state park at about 1,033 acres on Biscayne Bay, known for its mountain biking trails, kayaking and mangrove forests.

North Miami Beach had 43,676 residents at the 2020 Census and has about 15,300 households, with an average of nearly three people per household.
