Glenvar Heights was originally part of the city of South Miami, founded by an early land owner of the area, W.A. Larkins. He built the first grocery store in the area, and as the community grew, a post office was placed in the community. Larkins became the first Postmaster, and the community took the name of "Larkins". A depot was placed along the Florida East Coast Railway. The original town boundaries were Red Road on the east, Kendall Drive to the south, Palmetto Road to the west (now Palmetto Expressway), and Bird Road to the north. In 1933, the original six square miles were reduced to just over three miles due to an effort to reduce municipal responsibilities.

Today Glenvar Heights is a vibrant family oriented community. It is proud to boast about its strong sense of community, excellent park and recreational facilities and exceptional schools. The majority of the city consists of planned communities gated and un-gated with strict ordnances and codes governing property appearance and neighborhood upkeep.
