Miami Gardens is a city located in Miami-Dade County, Florida. Since the start of the 21st century, there has been a movement in several unincorporated places, also known as census-designated places CDP's throughout Miami-Dade County to incorporate as cities, often due to a perceived lack of attention or services from the Miami-Dade Metro government. Residents in Miami-Dade county who lived on the Broward County line in the former CDP's of Andover, Bunche Park, Carol City, Lake Lucerne, Norland, and Opa-Locka North voted to incorporate as the city of Miami Gardens in 2003, although some of those CDP's were entirely incorporated. According to the 2004 U.S. Census Bureau's Estimates, the newly-created city had a population of 100,887; however, current estimates of the city government place the 2005 population at 105,414. The city is home to the Miami Dolphins and Florida Marlins both of whom play in Dolphins Stadium.
