Traces and artifacts of the Tequesta Indians, the original population of Miami and its surrounding areas, were found and known since the middle of the 19th century, when the "founders" of modern day Miami, Julia Tuttle, William Brickell and Henry Flagler began their extensive building activities.

When the Spanish Conquerors under Ponce de Leon arrived in 1513, they described the Tequesta Indians they encountered and the land they occupied as about 100 acres along the shores of the Miami River, where it flows into Biscayne Bay. By 1567, Spanish priests established a mission and set about converting the indigents to Christianity, in the process destroying their idols and razing their temples. 200 years later, deseases and English slave raids reduced the Tequesta population to something like 300 people.
