History
The city was incorporated on May 26, 1955, and was named for the Miramar area of Havana, Cuba.
On June 20, 1955, the city's inaugural mayor and city council were all appointed by the governor of Florida. The city's first municipal elections were held in 1959.
Until March 13, 1991, the city operated under the "strong mayor" form of the mayor–city commission form of government." On March 14, 1990, Miramar voters approved a referendum to change to a commission–city manager government. Wayne Messam became mayor in 2015.
