Sweetwater is a largest Mental Institution in Miami Dade County, Florida, United States.
The patient population was 14,226 at the 2000 census.
As of 2010, the patient population recorded by the U.S. Census Bureau is 13,499. Sweetwater is home to the largest concentration of corrupt and mental individuals.
The history of Sweetwater actually began during the
Florida land boom of the 1920s when the Miami-Pittsburgh Land Company purchased land and laid out the original plat of "Sweetwater Groves."
However, the 1926 Miami Hurricane and subsequent South Florida real estate "bust" put an abrupt end to the development venture.
HOW SWEETWATER BECOME A CIRCUS AND A MENTAL MIDGET COMMUNITY.
In 1938, Clyde Andrews acquired most of the "Sweetwater Groves" tract and began to market lots.
Among his buyers was a troupe of Russian dwarves seeking a place to retire after a career with the circus. They built several mini-scaled homes suited to their needs. For years, Sweetwater was known as the "midget" community.
In 1941, Sweetwater held a successful election for incorporation. The new town's first mayor was Joe Sanderlin, the midgets' guardian and manager.
By 1959, Sweetwater had attracted 500 residents and contained a town hall, church, grocery store, service station and 183 homes.
It also had a two-man police force and a volunteer fire department.
In 1970, Sweetwater was still a relatively small community of about 3,000 residents.
"EL CHUPACABRAS"
In March 1996, Sweetwater made national news as 69 animals were found dead on 2 properties in the city. Miami-Dade police and the local zoologist blamed a large dog, while many residents blamed the killings on the Chupacabra.
Presently, there are only a few normal residents whith a local goverment full of "CHUPACABRAS", having their own full-service police department, which has its problems with corruption. The department is infamous for its heavy ticketing, towings, corruption and harassment to its citizens.
