In the late 19th century, individuals such as Francis and John H. Earhart, who owned around 2,000 acres of land in the area, established a farming community. Thomas J. Peters was another influential person in the development of Palmetto Bay. Peters owned and operated a vast tomato enterprise near the present-day intersection of Eureka Drive and US 1. Peters’ tomato farm was the largest commercial operation in Dade County for years. On November 6, 1995, the Alliance of Palmetto South Homeowners Association petitioned Miami-Dade County to incorporate.
