The first Locals of the AFM were located in, among other places, St. Louis, Cleveland, Milwaukee, and Sacramento. In 1910, the year that the Miami Herald began publishing, 1681 people lived in Miami. Fort Lauderdale was incorporated in 1911, and a year later, Henry Flagler's East Coast Railroad opened to Key West.
