History of the organization
Miami Pioneers: This group was founded in 1936 by prominent early settlers and business leaders who arrived in the Miami area before 1900. Founding members included prominent figures like John W. G. Seybold, a German immigrant and businessman, and Isidor Cohen, the first permanent Jewish settler in the region.
Natives of Dade: This organization was created in 1986 by a group of local history enthusiasts who were born in Dade County.
The merger: The two groups combined on July 8, 2002, to create the current organization, the Miami Pioneers and Natives of Dade.
