==EconomyHistory==
The neighborhood takes its name from the famed [[Miami Beach, Florida|Miami Beach]] resort. In 1970, Ben Novack, the Fontainebleau's original owner, grew jealous of Doris and Alfred Kaskel's plans in Doral and wanted to create his own planned golf course, resort, and community. It was to be known as Fontainebleau Park. Novack, however, soon fell into financial problems (and the Fontainebleau Park would play a part in the hotel's foreclosure in 1977). The company Trafalgar Developers would go on to develop the community under the "Fontainebleau" name, but no link to the famed hotel would ever be mentioned in promotional materials when the community opened in the 1970s.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.miaminewtimes.com/news/the-stories-behind-the-names-of-25-miami-dade-cities-and-neighborhoods-8208081|title=The Stories Behind the Names of 25 Miami-Dade Cities and Neighborhoods|last=Munzenrieder|first=Kyle|date=2016-01-28|work=Miami New Times|access-date=2018-04-17}}</ref>▼
