Description

"The Tropical Sun" [Juno] July 14, 1892 reports that Lemon City beat Cocoanut Grove 18-17 on July 4th. The game was played on a field 1.5 miles outside Lemon City.

The article further states that these teams have just been organized in the last month.

Both towns are near Biscayne Bay in south Florida. Lemon City, also known as Little Haiti, and Cocoanut Grove, are within modern Miami. Both towns were annexed by Miami in 1925.

As of Sept. 2015, this is the first organized game I've found in what is now Miami.
