Editing North Bay Village, Florida (section)

===Early years===
Prior to 1940, most of what is now North Bay Village lay beneath the waters of [[Biscayne Bay]]. The only dry land was Broadcast Key, a {{convert|5|acre|m2|adj=on}} island from which pioneer radio station [[WIOD]] began broadcasting in 1926.

Today, television station [[WSVN-TV]] maintains its headquarters at this same site, now joined with Treasure Island. WIOD moved inland during the mid-2010s.

In 1940, dredging and bulk-heading created North Bay Island. By 1941, palm-lined streets had been laid out, and 12 homes had been built and occupied. Today, the island has grown into a neighborhood of single-family residences.

During the mid-1940s, dredging and filling created Harbor Island and Treasure Island. Harbor Island is composed primarily of multi-family buildings. Treasure Island, whose street names were drawn from [[Robert Louis Stevenson]]'s novel ''[[Treasure Island]]'', is a mixture of single-family dwellings on the westerly end and multi-family dwellings on the eastern end.
