Fisher Island’s history is rooted in humble beginnings. Started in 1905 and completed in 1911, the dredging of Government Cut resulted in the separation of a small island at the intersection of Biscayne Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. It wasn’t until Miami Beach founder and developer, Carl Fisher, purchased the island that its history truly began.

Today, Fisher Island is known all over the world and is home to more than 700 families representing more than 45 nationalities. Lauded for its exclusivity and privacy, Fisher Island features some of the finest amenities in the world. Fisher Island Community Association prides itself on serving the island’s residents and guests with the highest quality service and professionalism.
