Julia Tuttle is best known as the "Mother of Miami" for her pivotal role in the city's development. In the late 19th century, she was instrumental in persuading railroad magnate Henry Flagler to extend his railway to Miami, which facilitated its growth and establishment. Tuttle was also a successful citrus grower and landowner, and her vision and efforts significantly contributed to Miami becoming a major urban center.
