## History[edit]

The Gold Coast is one of several "Coast" regions found in Florida, including the Space Coast, Treasure Coast, the Sun Coast, the Nature Coast, the Forgotten Coast, and the First Coast. Like several of the others, it seems to have originated at the time the area first saw major growth.[1] The region overlaps with the Miami metropolitan area, also known as South Florida, home to over 6 million inhabitants as of 2020.[2]

The Gold Coast, when compared with the image above, shows that the region is primarily made up of the long urban cluster along Florida's southeastern coast, the Miami metropolitan area
