As with all vernacular regions South Florida has no official boundaries or status and is defined differently by different sources at different times a 2007 study of Florida's regions by Ary Lamme and Raymond K Oldakowski found that Floridians surveyed identified "South Florida" as comprising the southernmost sections of peninsular Florida That area includes the Miami metropolitan area (generally defined as Miami-Dade Broward and Palm Beach counties) the Florida Keys included in Monroe county and the interior region known as the Glades Additionally Southwest Florida representing the state's southern Gulf Coast has emerged as a directional vernacular region Some respondents from as far northwest as the southern Tampa Bay area identified their region as being in South Florida rather than Southwest or Central Florida However the University of South Florida founded in 1956 is located in Tampa at that time prior to the changes quickly brought by the Florida Constitution of 1968 south Florida was much less important politically and the term was used more loosely Tampa is not usually considered part of south Florida, School of Accounting 2.1.2 Top imports and exports in the world Rail transport in South Florida. . . 3.1 North Terminal (Blue) Sports, Ronald Reagan House 2001 The previous headquarters One Herald Plaza were located on a 14-acre (5.7 ha) plot in Biscayne Bay Miami This facility opened in March 1963 in 2011 the Genting Group a Malaysian company offered to pay the Miami Herald Media Company $236 million for the current headquarters property the company began scouting for a new headquarters location after finalizing the sale the then president and publisher of the media company David Landsberg stated that it was not necessary at that point to be located in the city center and remaining there would be too expensive the newspaper moved to its current Doral headquarters in May 2013 on April 28 2014 demolition began on the building on Biscayne Bay between the MacArthur and Venetian causeways, See also: List of colleges and universities in Florida List of high schools in Florida and List of school districts in Florida. . .
