==History==
The island of Indian Creek was said to have been created in the 1900s, due to excavation of drainage for [[Biscayne Bay]] and was an uninhabited and underdeveloped [[mangrove forest]] until 1928, when the country club and housing lots were established after a group of [[Midwestern United States|Midwestern]] businessmen bought the island as a real estate venture.<ref>https://archive.lib.msu.edu/tic/flgre/article/1999spr34.pdf {{bare URL PDF|date=March 2024}}</ref> The village was an [[unincorporated area]] until it was incorporated by an act of the [[Florida Legislature]] on May 17, 1939, at which point the island had 17 residents and the country club had 180 members.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Indian Creek Community Background Report |url=http://dpantherdev02.ad.fiu.edu/itis/cbr/indian_creek_village.html |access-date=February 13, 2024 |website=dpantherdev02.ad.fiu.edu}}</ref> For many years, the island served as a space for vacation rentals for the Miami-area elite, until recent years when elite residents from outside the area began living there full-time.<ref>{{Cite web |date=February 3, 2022 |title=Everything You Need to Know About Indian Creek Island, Miami's Most Exclusive Enclave |url=https://www.townandcountrymag.com/society/money-and-power/a34975701/indian-creek-island-miami-residents/ |access-date=February 13, 2024 |website=Town & Country |language=en-US}}</ref>
