History

Cape Canaveral is located on the Atlantic Ocean about between Miami and Jacksonville.  This coastal community has 1.9 square-miles of beach. It is bordered on the west by the Banana River, on the north by the Port. This is the only deep water port between Fort Lauderdale and Jacksonville. It is bordered on the east by the Atlantic Ocean and on the south by Cocoa Beach.

After the establishment of a lighthouse in 1848, a few families moved into the area.

In 1890 a group of Harvard Alumni students established  the Canaveral Harvard Club with a holding of over 18,000 acres. Their game hunts helped clear the wilderness for other settlers to move in.

In the early 1920s, a group of Orlando  journalists, invested in the beach acreage that now encompasses the area of presidential-named streets in Cape Canaveral. They called their development Journalista (now Avon-by-the-Sea).

 

The Space Program helped to grow the economy.

The workforce and the economy had grown with the space program by 1958.

The City of Cape Canaveral started in 1961.

In 2012, the city started celebrating its 50th year since incorporation. At a Heritage Day even in March 2013 part of the festivities. The official 50th anniversary date of May 16.
