The person often referred to as the "Father of Miami" is Julia Tuttle. She was a wealthy citrus grower who played a pivotal role in the establishment of Miami, Florida, by persuading the railroad magnate Henry Flagler to extend his railroad to the area in the late 19th century. Tuttle's vision and efforts in promoting Miami significantly contributed to its development and growth as a major city.

Is Miami considered part of the Caribbean?

No. Miami is on land, and the Caribbean is water. Miami is sometimes called the Gateway to the Caribbean, but the Greater Antilles (Cuba, Hispaniola, Puerto Rico) mark the Northern "border" of the Caribbean, and they are hundreds of miles from Miami--so it doesn't even overlook the Caribbean itself. So Miami is the closest part of the U.S. Mainland to the Caribbean (and thus the "Gateway").
