 Coconut Grove
is a neighborhood located in the City of Miami, Florida in Miami-Dade
County, United States. The borders of the neighborhood are approximately
defined as north of Battersea Road, east of LeJeune Road, south of US 1,
west of Rickenbacker Causeway and west of Biscayne Bay. It is south of
the Brickell and The Roads neighborhoods, and east of Coral Gables. The
neighborhood's name has been sometimes spelled Cocoanut Grove but the
definitive spelling Coconut Grove was established when the city was
incorporated in 1919.
What
is today referred to as Coconut Grove was formed in 1925 when the city of
Miami annexed two areas of about equal size, the city of Coconut Grove
and most of the town of Silver Bluff. The area is often referred to
by locals as "The Grove".
Coconut
Grove is served by the Miami Metrorail at three stations: Vizcaya
Station, Coconut Grove Station, and Douglas Road Station. Vizcaya Station
directly serves Mercy Hospital, Vizcaya Museum and Gardens, and Miami Science
Museum, while the Coconut Grove and Douglas Road stations serve the
central Grove area along SW 27th Avenue and Grand Avenue respectively.
