History
I have moved the the History section to here until verifiable, reliable sources are referenced. --  Dalbury ( Talk )  21:12, 1 January 2006 (UTC) Palmetto Bay's history began in the 1870’s when a Massachusetts doctor, named William C. Cutler, first visited the area and fell in love with it. Native Americans living in South Florida then referred to the area as the Big Hunting Grounds. It was officially part of the Perrine Grant awarded to Dr. Henry Perrine, in 1838. Dr. Cutler bought a 600-acre tract of this land for $1.25 per acre and wanted to establish a fruit and vegetable plantation. He built a small shack where the Ingraham Highway crossed Snapper Creek and camped there. He tried three times to bring settlers to this area but most people did not stay. Dr. Cutler died in 1899, before he was able to establish a permanent home.

The only one of Dr. Cutler’s friends who became a permanent resident was William Fuzzard. On his first trip to the area in 1882, twenty-year-old William stayed in Coconut Grove while he explored the area. He returned in 1883, setting up a tent before building a wooden two-story home. The only way to make money in Dade County at this time was to set up a starch mill, which Mr. Fuzzard did. Native Americans had long ago perfected the technique washing the ground up roots of the small Zamia Palm. In its natural state the plant is poisonous, but when treated properly the flour that is produced is edible. This flour was called coontie starch. The flour could also be used as laundry starch.

One of Mr. Fuzzard’s greatest contributions to the Cutler area was the path he cut through the wilderness. The road, which was eventually widened to a wagon trail, went from Coconut Grove to his home. This trail was the beginning of what is now called Old Cutler Road. It ran north from Fuzzard’s home (near the present day Deering Estate), went east and joined what is now Coral Reef Drive and turned into what is now Ludlam Road and went north to Chapman Field. It still runs the length of Chapman Field (in front of the USDA Experimental Station Office) and through Fairchild Gardens. It went through Matheson Hammock up to Cocoplum Circle and along Ingraham Highway to Coconut Grove. Fuzzard’s path was declared a public road in 1895. What was once traveled by Fuzzard’s white mule, Samson, is the beginning of what is now the State Historic Highway of Old Cutler Road.

Dr. Cutler spent each winter with the Fuzzards, pitching a tent in the yard. Until 1884, all mail was delivered to Coconut Grove. Mr. Fuzzard decided that there were enough people to have their own post office. He made an application and became the first postmaster. He chose the name Cutler in honor of his old friend and mentor, Dr. Cutler. The first post office was in a freight car that had been salvaged from a shipwreck.

In 1900, Henry Flagler began to build his Florida East Coast Railway. Rather than follow the ridge from Coconut Grove to the south, the railroad was built to the west of Cutler. Pressure to move it westward came from Commodore Monroe and other Coconut Grove pioneers who wanted to protect their waterfront estates by intrusions from the railroad and commercialism. Cutler boomed while the tracks were being laid, but the railroad was responsible for the town’s ultimate demise. The Fuzzard family, along with fifty or more residents, moved north to Miami by 1905. A few people remained in the area but for the next 50 years Cutler mostly belonged to the wilderness animals.

In the 1960's and 70's, the area saw rapid growth. In the 1990's, many unincorporated areas of Miami-Dade County began to incorporate. Area residents also wanted to incorporate to have more control over how their local tax dollars were spent. The new village was incorporated on September 10 2002 and was named after the top tier Palmetto High School (in the neighboring village of Pinecrest, Florida) and its location along Biscayne Bay.
