Allapattah is a neighborhood, located mostly in the city of Miami, Florida in metropolitan Miami. As of May 2011[update], the county-owned portion of Allapattah, from State Road 9 to LeJeune Road, is being annexed by the city proper.[1][needs update]
A stretch in the neighborhood along NW 17th Avenue was nicknamed Little Santo Domingo in 2003, in an effort spurred by former Miami mayor and longtime city commissioner Wilfredo "Willy" Gort to honor the sizable Dominican American population in the community.[2]
