'''Cutler''' was a [[settler|pioneer]] [[town]] in [[Miami-Dade County, Florida|Miami-Dade County]], [[Florida]] that existed from 1883 to 1915, when most of it was absorbed into the [[Charles Deering Estate]]. The area adjoining the western border of the estate later became the Cutler [[census-designated place]] (CDP) through the time of the 2000 census, after which it was incorporated into the Village of [[Palmetto Bay, Florida|Palmetto Bay]]. The population was 17,390 at the 2000 census.

==History==
Originally called the Hunting Ground due to its long use for that purpose by [[Native Americans in the United States|Native American]] tribes, the area was part of the 36-square-mile [[survey township]] granted to [[Henry Perrine]] by the [[United States Congress]] in 1838.<ref name="Epperson">{{cite book |first=Bruce D. |last=Epperson |title=Roads Through the Everglades |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=oOvcDAAAQBAJ&q=epperson%20Perrine%20cutler&pg=PA31 |publisher=MacFarland & Company, Inc. |location=Jefferson, North Carolina |year=2016 |isbn=978-1-4766-6479-8 }}</ref><ref name="Matthews">{{cite web |last=Matthews |first=Janet Snyder |title=The Charles Deering Estate at Cutler |publisher=Metro-Dade County Parks and Recreation Department | date=May 1992 |url=http://www.uflib.ufl.edu/spec/inhouse/Matthews_Deering_text.pdf |access-date=March 18, 2020 }}</ref> In 1864, John and Mary Addison arrived at the Hunting Ground from [[Manatee County, Florida|Manatee County]] and built a home.<ref name="Matthews" /> By the 1870s, the area was being called Addison's Landing.<ref name="Matthews" /> In the early 1880s, Dr. William C. Cutler visited the area and subsequently purchased 600 acres. In 1882, Cutler persuaded his friend, William Fuzzard, to settle in the area, and in 1883, Fuzzard built a wooden two-story home. In 1884, Fuzzard, along with several other settlers, cut a path from his homestead to Coconut Grove, which eventually became [[Old Cutler Road]]. By the end of the year, the population had reached 75, and a post-office with the name "Cutler" was established near a wharf built at the northeastern part of the settlement.

In 1896, residents built the Cutler Schoolhouse. That same year, Samuel H. Richmond built a large, two-story balloon frame home known as the Richmond Cottage, which in 1899 was transformed into the area's only inn. A factory, stores, and other buildings were located around the intersection of what is now S.W. 168th Street (Richmond Drive) and S.W. 72nd Avenue (then the location of Old Cutler Road). The post office was moved to the Brown & Moody General Store. However, after the Florida East Coast Railway bypassed Cutler in 1903 for the new railroad town of [[Perrine, Florida|Perrine]] {{frac|2|1|2}} miles west, the town fell into a decline as farmers and settlers left to be closer to the railroad. From 1914 to 1917, [[Charles Deering]] purchased most of the land in the area, subsuming it within his estate. Except for the Richmond Cottage, which Deering incorporated into his estate, all of the buildings in the town were torn down.<ref name="dmp">{{cite web |last=Miami-Dade County Parks, Recreation and Open Spaces Department |title=Final Management Plan - Deering Estate at Cutler |publisher=Miami-Dade County | date=September 10, 2013 |url=http://www.miamidade.gov/parks/library/deering-management-plan.pdf |access-date=March 19, 2020 }}</ref>

Suburban development slowly began to approach the boundaries of the Deering Estate in the 1960s. By the end of the 1970s, the area west of the Estate was almost fully developed and became the Cutler CDP. In 1986, after Charles Deering's last surviving daughter died, the Estate was purchased by the State of Florida.

The [[Palmetto Bay, Florida|Village of Palmetto Bay]] was incorporated on September 10, 2002, and took the territory formerly held by the Cutler CDP, as well as the eastern half of Perrine that had become the [[East Perrine, Florida|East Perrine]] CDP.<ref>"[http://www.palmettobay-fl.gov/about.htm About our village] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100128063140/http://www.palmettobay-fl.gov/about.htm |date=2010-01-28 }}."
