Until their houses could be constructed, these families had to stay in Homestead. The area received official incorporation in 1914. Florida City, along with Homestead, underwent catastrophic damage in 1992 when South Florida was struck by Hurricane Andrew. Together, the cities of Homestead and Florida City form the greater Homestead-Florida City area.
