Ojus is a one of the few neighborhoods in Miami that were first occupied by the Paleo-Indians. Archeologists have previously unearthed historic sites at the Oleta River, which passes through the neighborhood. Serving as the main highway of the early settlers, Ojus has made trades with the early settlers.
As early as the 19th century, Ojus settlers have been doing business with the Seminoles. Due to this, the neighborhood was named Ojus – a Seminole term that translates to “lots of” or “plenty.”
To date, the neighborhood is made up of individuals with South American ancestry. There is also a good percentage of Cubans and Russians.
Due to the immense cultural diversity, the main language spoken in the neighborhood varies as well. Although most of the residents can communicate in English, some can also speak Spanish and Hebrew.
