In 1954, the inaugural Burger King restaurant was established in Miami.

Miami, Florida boasts an interesting piece of trivia - the city is home to the very first Burger King restaurant. Originally known as Insta-Burger King and founded in Jacksonville, Florida in 1953, the company underwent a name change after being acquired in 1954. Not long after, the first Burger King franchise restaurant opened in Miami, where the company continues to be headquartered in Miami-Dade County.
