Description
Titusville, one of the oldest cities on Central Florida's Space Coast, is best known for its close association with Kennedy Space Center. Here along the Indian River, the city has been a great viewpoint for rocket launches for the last 50 years.
Titusville was founded in 1867 when Confederate Col. Henry Theodore Titus arrived at Sand Point on the banks of the Indian River. Titus built the area's first hotel called the Titus House. and was instrumental in connecting the Indian River with an inland waterway. Becoming the birthplace for shipments of the famous Indian River Citrus during the late 1800s, Titusville survived the following decades of the Great Depression and grew dramatically with the arrival of major companies associated with the Space Program.
