One of the earliest settlements in Miami, Lemon City was discovered around 1870, according to the City of Miami. E.H. Harrington dubbed the neighborhood Lemon City because of the lemon trees that grew on his property. The historic district includes all properties along Northeast Second Avenue between 52nd and 71st streets. — Eric Kalis
