The Tequesta were a Native American tribe that inhabited southern Florida, particularly around the Miami area, before European contact. By the 18th century, their population declined due to disease, conflict, and displacement caused by Spanish colonization and later American expansion. By the late 1700s, the Tequesta had largely disappeared as a distinct group, with survivors likely assimilating into other tribes or communities. Today, their legacy is reflected in place names and archaeological sites in the region.
