Doral is a city located in north-central Miami-Dade County, Florida, west of Miami International Airport; Doral is a suburb of Miami, Florida. The City of Doral takes its name from the famous golf and spa resort located within its municipal boundaries. The Doral Golf Resort & Spa was originally built by Doris and Alfred Kaskel, who coined "Doral" by combining their names. The City of Doral was incorporated along with Miami Gardens in 2003. As of the 2000 census, the population was 20,438. According to the 2005 U.S. Census estimates, the city had a population of 21,895.[3] For a city of its size, Doral has a large number of shops, financial institutions and businesses, especially importers and exporters, primarily because of its proximity to the Miami International Airport. In 2008, Fortune Small Business and CNN Money ranked Doral as 51 on a list of 100 cities with the best mix of business advantages and lifestyle appeal.[4]

.Transportation
Although Miami-Dade County Transportation does service the Doral area, it does not service inner Doral. Therefore, in February 2008, the City of Doral began a pilot program for a new form of transportation for residents, the Doral Trolley. With stops all over the city, the trolley runs all the way from Ronald W. Reagan/Doral Senior High School to the city limit at NW 87 Ave. It services all Doral area public schools (with the exception of Doral Academy Charter School) and many businesses and retail locations in the city. PoliceAn all-new police department was started on June 2, 2008 to service the growing Doral area. Previously, the Miami-Dade Police Department would service the area with a sticker on the side of the car showing the Doral logo. From its inception, the new police service has started a routine of parking at busy intersections or roadsides in an effort to catch speeders, thus forcing the entire city to slow down its speed on its once fast streets. MediaThe City of Doral, FL is served by the Miami-Ft. Lauderdale market, for local radio and Television. The City of Doral, has its own newspaper, The Doral Tribune, a bi-lingual newspaper, published monthly which is part of Miami's Community Newspapers, the Voice of the Community.
