A Brief History of Brevard County

Brevard County traces its origin to 1844, when it was first created under the name St. Lucie County; it was renamed Brevard County in 1855 in honor of Theodore Washington Brevard, a Florida state official who served as comptroller.

For much of the nineteenth century the county remained lightly settled, and small communities along the Indian River relied on citrus growing, fishing, and boat traffic for trade, since rail service did not reach the area until later in the century.

The county's character changed dramatically in the mid-twentieth century when the federal government established rocket launch facilities at Cape Canaveral, later expanded into the Kennedy Space Center, transforming this once-quiet coastal county into a center of the American space program.

Brevard County's Economy Today

Aerospace remains a defining feature of Brevard County's economy, with Kennedy Space Center and Cape Canaveral Space Force Station supporting NASA missions alongside private launch companies and the many suppliers and contractors that serve them across the county.

A broad base of aerospace, defense, and high-tech manufacturing firms provides engineering and technical employment throughout the county, while tourism tied to the Space Coast's beaches and rocket launch viewing adds a further source of visitor spending and hospitality jobs.

Healthcare, retail, and other services support the county's sizable year-round population, and continued growth in commercial spaceflight ventures keeps drawing new investment, contractors, and skilled workers to the region, extending a pattern of growth that began decades ago.
