Some of the names that pepper the pages of Biscayne National Park's history are well-known: Firestone, Honeywell, Hoover, Nixon. Other names are associated with exciting stories of daring, worthy of a television drama. Still others are linked to inspiring stories, offering role models to emulate. Most names, though, are not easily recognized, linked to quiet and unassuming people just getting on with the business of daily living.

The pages in this section are dedicated to the exciting, the inspiring and the unassuming. We invite you to learn the stories of Biscayne's people.
