The History of Little Havana

The Jewish Roots of Little Havana

Before becoming synonymous with Cuban culture, Little Havana was a Jewish neighborhood in the 1930s and 1940s. Known as Riverside at the time, it was a haven for Jewish immigrants escaping persecution in Europe. They built synagogues, kosher delis, and community centers, creating a vibrant Jewish enclave.

As Miami grew, the Jewish community moved to other neighborhoods like Miami Beach, and Riverside underwent a transformation. By the late 1950s, Cuban immigrants fleeing Fidel Castro’s regime began settling here, blending their culture into the area and creating a new identity.

The Cuban Influence

The Cuban exile story is what shaped Little Havana into the neighborhood we know today. Thousands of Cuban refugees brought their traditions, music, and flavors, turning Little Havana into a cultural hub. Landmarks like Domino Park, Calle Ocho, and traditional Cuban cigar factories became iconic symbols of the neighborhood’s heritage.

Little Havana is not just a place—it’s a living museum of resilience, adaptation, and community, where every street tells a story of overcoming adversity and building a Hot spot in Miami for Visitors.
