🔊 Listen to this Post Little Haiti (French: La Petite Haïti), is a predominantly Caribbean, culturally rich community in the neighborhood once known as Lemon City in Miami and is the cultural mecca for people of Haitian descent.

Noted Haitian businessman, activist and respected community leader, Viter Juste‘s is considered the father of Little Haiti. According to Jean-Claude Exulien, a retired professor of history and friend of Juste’s since 1977, Juste authored an article in the Miami Herald in which he first referred to the neighborhood as “Little Port-au-Prince.” However, editors at the Miami Herald found the name, “Little Port-au-Prince,” too long, so the newspaper shortened the term in the headline to Little Haiti.

Major cultural facilities exist in Lemon City and Little Haiti and include the Caribbean Cultural Center, Toussaint L’Ouverture Elementary School, Aperture Photo Studios, The Darkroom, Caribbean Marketplace, and The Haitian Cultural Arts Alliance. Little Haiti has seven recreational public parks.

The Lemon City Library is the oldest library within the Miami-Dade Public Library System. The historic library opened its doors to the public on April 7, 1894 began as a modest reading room and has remained a thriving community resource for over a hundred years.
