Hialeah is located in southeastern Florida, near the Everglades. It is chiefly a residential suburb of Miami. Local manufactures include clothing, furniture, metal and plastic goods, chemicals, printed materials, and electronic equipment. Exports from Hialeah’s busy port contribute significantly to the area’s economy. Hialeah Park, a noted Thoroughbred racetrack, is in the city. The community was settled in 1910 and incorporated as a city in 1925. Its name is derived from a Seminole term for "pretty prairie." A 2005 real estate survey has estimated the population of Hialeah, Florida at 220,485.
