Hialeah is the sixth biggest city in Maiade-Dade county of Florida. The city is home to over 224,000 people living within an estimate of 20-square miles (/467/About-Hialeah). Its name originates from the “Muskogee origin, meaning “pretty prairie,” by combining “Haiyakpo” (prairie) and “hili” (pretty)” (Hialeah, Florida Population, 2021).

In 1926, a massive hurricane destroyed a significant portion of the city's infrastructure (Hialeah, Florida Population, 2021).
