Ludlam Road

This north-south roadway (Southwest 67th Avenue) is named for pioneer Walter Ludlam. Mr. Ludlam moved from Ludlam, New York, which was named for his pioneering parents, to Miami in 1898. When a road was needed along a Tamiami Trail area neighborhood, Mr. Ludlam and his neighbors pooled their money to help fund the construction of the roadway. Dade County matched their $750 and the Dade County Commission named the road for Mr. Ludlam in 1914 in recognition of his efforts. He was proprietor of the Ludlam Transfer Company and owner of a construction business. The roadway was designated a historic highway by the 2010 Florida Legislature.
