West Perrine is a census-designated place (CDP) in Miami-Dade County, Florida, United States. It is part of the Miami metropolitan area of South Florida. The population was 10,602 at the 2020 census,[2] up from 9,460 in 2010.[5]

## History

[edit]

Prior to the 2000 census it was part of Perrine. The other part of Perrine became the East Perrine CDP for the 2000 census and is now part of the incorporated Village of Palmetto Bay. West Perrine is still an unincorporated area, although some residents have discussed the possibility of incorporating Perrine. The name derives from a land grant issued to the heirs of Henry Perrine, an agriculturist (among other things).
