Palmetto Bay includes three neighborhoods that were former census-designated places, Cutler, Rockdale and East Perrine.
The Village of Palmetto Bay is served by the Miami market for local radio and television. The Village has its own newspaper, The Palmetto Bay News, which is published bi-weekly and is part of Miami Community Newspapers. Additionally, The Miami Herald covers the Village in its South Dade edition of its "Neighbors" supplement.
Prior to 2012, the Village streamed its council meetings exclusively online. In early 2012, the Village expanded its video services to a government access TV network, WBAY, which offers a variety of local programming in addition to coverage of council meetings.
In August 1992, Palmetto Bay and the surrounding South Miami-Dade area were severely damaged by Hurricane Andrew. Many of the homes and businesses in Palmetto Bay were destroyed. In the subsequent years, the area was slowly rebuilt. Although many areas of Miami were heavily affected by Hurricane Andrew, Palmetto Bay was one of the worst affected and remains a reminder of the hurricane's extensive disaster in the city today.[2][3]
The village incorporated on September 10, 2002, taking the territory formerly held by the Cutler, Rockdale and East Perrine census-designated places.[4] The founding council consisted of Mayor Eugene Flinn, Jr., Vice Mayor, Linda Robinson, and council members, John Breder, Edward Feller, and Paul Neidhart.[5]
Palmetto Bay is located just west of Biscayne Bay 25°37′38″N 80°19′15″W.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the village has a total area of 8.8 square miles (22.6 km2). 8.8 square miles (22.5 km2) of it is land and 0.04 square miles (0.1 km2) of it (0.44%) is mostly water.
