The present day Miami Shores roughly corresponds with the original "Biscayne" neighborhood of the City of Miami. With the arrival of the Great Depression, the City of Miami gave up its jurisdiction and the area incorporated under the official name Miami Shores Village in 1932 even though it is usually just referred to as “Miami Shores.” The village encompasses an area just under 4 square miles. Miami Shores is primarily a bedroom community of mostly single family homes for those working in Greater Miami. It also has a sizeable retired population. The village operates under a council-manager system with a Village Council of five members. The Village Manager is the Village's chief executive officer, in charge of managing the day-to-day functions of the village. The village maintains its own police department, but fire services are supplied by the county.
