History of Holiday Colony
Holiday Colony’s history is connected to the broader residential development of Key Biscayne. The island changed significantly after the Rickenbacker Causeway opened in 1947, creating a direct road connection to mainland Miami and making large-scale residential development possible. Residential construction expanded during the 1950s, and the Village of Key Biscayne was incorporated in 1991.
The development of Holiday Colony fits within this longer evolution of Key Biscayne from an island with agricultural and recreational uses into an established residential community. Detailed historical information specific to Holiday Colony is limited, so its history is best understood through the development of Key Biscayne as a whole.
