History of Kendall
Miami: Much of what is now Kendall was purchased from the State
of Florida in 1883 by the Florida Land and Mortgage Company. It is named
after Henry John Broughton Kendall, a director of the company who moved
to the area in the 1900s to manage the company's land. As the land was
not open to homesteading, development was slow well into the 20th
century. A post office opened in 1914, and the first school opened in
1929. After the end of the land boom in 1926, some residents left. Two
Seminole camps were in the Kendall area, and Seminoles continued to live
there into the 1940s.
