'''Bal Harbour''' is a [[village (Florida)|village]] in [[Miami-Dade County, Florida]]. The village is part of the [[Miami metropolitan area]] of [[South Florida]]. The population was 3,093 at the [[2020 US Census]].

==History==

Since the 1920s, the Detroit-based Miami Beach Heights Corporation—headed by industrialists [[Graham-Paige|Robert C. Graham]], [[Walter Briggs Sr.|Walter O. Briggs]], and [[Carl G. Fisher]]—owned {{convert|245|acre|ha}} of undeveloped, partially swampy land that stretched from the bay to the Atlantic. Graham assumed the duties as the developer for Bal Harbour. In the 1930s, city planners [[Harland Bartholomew]] & Associates were called in to design the village. The company made several plans, and they were submitted to the Miami Beach Heights for review.

The original name chosen for Bal Harbour was Bay Harbour. However, the planning committee didn't think that was appropriate for a city that was on the beach. A name was invented to encompass a village that ran from the [[bay]] to the [[Atlantic Ocean]]. The ''b'' was taken from the word ''bay'' and the ''a'' and ''l'' were taken from the name Atlantic. Hence the word ''Bal'' was created.<ref name="history">{{Cite web |url=http://www.balharbourgov.com/government/history.html |title=Bal Harbour :: The official website for Bal Harbour Village, Florida |access-date=April 14, 2006 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060505140745/http://www.balharbourgov.com/government/history.html |archive-date=May 5, 2006 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

In 1940, [[World War II]] began, and the plans were put on hold. As a goodwill gesture to the government, Robert C. Graham rented the land to the United States Air Corps for $1 per year. The Air Corps used this land to train their soldiers and established a [[List of World War II prisoner-of-war camps in the United States|Prisoner of War camp]]. The ocean front area was used as a [[rifle range]] and the barracks were set up on the west side of Collins Avenue. The camp for prisoners was located on the site of what would become the Bal Harbour Shops.

After the war ended, the Air Corps left the barracks buildings intact, which were converted into apartment homes by Graham in 1946.

In order to incorporate a city in 1946, there had to be at least 25 male registered voters residing in the area. Graham had twenty five families move into the apartment homes that he had converted in order to qualify the Village for incorporation. He then hired Willard Webb, a Miami Beach tax assessor, to draft a charter for the Village. After the charter was completed, the Village of Bal Harbour was incorporated on August 14, 1946, by Graham and 25 male registered voters. The Village was operated under the city manager form of government.

The council established a volunteer [[fire department]].

[[Swamp]]land was filled, sea walls were constructed and the yacht basin was created. Contracts were signed for the sewer systems, water pumping stations and utilities. Bal Harbour was the first planned community in Florida to have its utilities placed underground. Developers set guidelines for the development of the beachfront and the residential areas. Collins Avenue was paved into four lanes with a landscaped median and later widened to the present day six lanes. Village plans indicated that ocean front property was to be {{convert|200|ft|m}} deep and lots approached $100,000. Lots in the residential area were about {{convert|1800|sqft|m2}} and cost from $6,500 to $20,000.

The first hotel, "The Kenilworth By-the-Sea", was built by Tom Raffington and made famous by [[Arthur Godfrey]]. It has since been demolished and is now the Kenilworth Condominium. The first home was built at 160 Bal Cross Drive by Robert C. Graham Jr., who was the son of Bal Harbour Developer Robert C. Graham. Construction for the Sea View Hotel was started.

Bal Harbour Village was re-incorporated by a special act of the 1947 [[Florida Legislature]] and its own charter was issued June 16. This new charter supplemented the original incorporation under the General Laws of Florida. In accordance with the new charter, an election to select five to serve on the council was held June 30. The Council elected were: Edward L. Bonneau, Robert C. Graham Jr., Glenn E. Massnick, George Whittaker, and Judge Julien Southerland. Judge Southerland was chosen as mayor. Willard Webb, who had been acting manager since the first organization, was appointed as Village Manager. Mary Wetterer was named Village Clerk and Herold Dickey was appointed Chief of Police.

In 1947, the Church by the Sea was built.
In 1948, the Beach Club was built. Its restaurant was operated by [[Howard Johnson's]].
In 1949, a new bridge was started over Baker Haulover.

In 1956, the current Village Hall was built.
In 1956, the Hotel Americana was built. It became the [[Sheraton Hotels and Resorts|Sheraton Hotel]] in 1980. It was imploded on November 18, 2007, to build a set of condos and a luxury aparthotel as [[the St. Regis Bal Harbour]].<ref>http://cbs4.com/local/bal.harbour.implosion.2.570600.html {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090721171234/http://cbs4.com/local/bal.harbour.implosion.2.570600.html |date=July 21, 2009 }} Sheraton Bal Harbour Vanishes In A Cloud Of Dust</ref>

In 1959, Bal Harbour's beach was renovated due to severe erosion.

In 1965, the [[Bal Harbour Shops]] was built by the Whitman family. Stanley Whitman was one of the incorporators who lived with his family in the barrack apartments.
In 1971, Bal Harbour's started a major [[beach replenishment]] project.<ref name="history"/>
In 1984, the residents of an exclusive neighborhood in Bal Harbour were successfully sued to remove the clause preventing Jews and blacks from owning property there.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1982/12/12/us/florida-club-drops-barriers-in-face-of-discrimination-suit.html|title=FLORIDA CLUB DROPS BARRIERS IN FACE OF DISCRIMINATION SUIT|last=Ap|date=December 12, 1982|newspaper=The New York Times|access-date=February 22, 2017|issn=0362-4331}}</ref>
