On Tuesday, the Miami-Dade County Commission decided to honor President-elect Donald J. Trump by renaming a major street in Hialeah.
In November 2023, city commissioners in Hialeah, known for its Republican influence and predominantly Hispanic population, approved an initiative to rename historic Palm Avenue to honor President Donald J. Trump, a change that has now gone into effect.
The Hialeah Historic Preservation Board suggested that the name of the public thoroughfare should remain unchanged.
In November 2023, the city's mayor, Esteban Bovo, expressed his enthusiasm for the initiative by displaying a poster with the proposed avenue's design, which bore Trump's signature. This event occurred after a visit by the newly elected president.
The measure, approved by the Miami-Dade County Board of County Commissioners, concludes a procedure that began with the city of Hialeah.
