Miami Springs is centrally located in Miami-Dade County. Founded by Glenn Curtiss, "The Father of Naval Aviation", and James Bright, during the famous land boom of the 1920's the city was originally named Country Club Estates. It, along with other Miami neighborhoods such as Coral Gables and Opa-locka formed some of the first planned communities in the state. Miami Springs had an intended theme which is reflected in its Mexican architecture and ambience. Shortly prior to incorporation in 1926, the city was renamed after a spring located in the area which served most of Miami with fresh water until the mid-1990s.

Miami Springs was founded by an aviation pioneer, and thus, the fate of the city has always been intertwined with the aviation industry, particularly since Miami International Airport (MIA) is located just south of the city on the southern border of NW 36th Street. The airline industry brought many residents from airline crew bases, as well as employment opportunities at the airport, which brought prosperity to the city.

Significant Historical Landmarks in the city include the Curtiss mansion, a Pueblo style home that belonged to city founder. After suffering the ravages of two fires, the gutted buildings' future continues to be the focal point of debate. Efforts aimed at the restoration of the Curtiss Mansion continue today. Fair Havens Nursing Home is one of the oldest buildings in Miami Springs and is built in the pueblo style favored during the initial development. Before becoming a nursing home, the building served as a hotel.

The City of Miami Springs Parks and Recreation Department proudly provides a wide range of recreational opportunities for its residents and visitors. City residents also enjoy a senior center and public Golf Center and Country Club. There is a bustling community center and fantastic parks grounds that include tot-lots and playgrounds. The city parks boast baseball, softball and soccer fields, and organized children's sports programs. Centrally located Miami Springs offers proximity to many attractions and easy access to Downtown Miami and Miami International Airport.
