Melbourne Florida

Located in Florida’s Brevard County, Melbourne is a regional economic powerhouse that’s home to a number of high-tech companies, many of which proved products and services to NASA and its subsidiaries along the ‘Space Coast. At the time of the last census, Melbourne had nearly 80,000 residents. In stark contrast to its reputation as a tech hub, the city’s historic downtown area is full of quaintness and small town charm that is largely missing in other cities of similar size. Melbourne is unique in that parts of it are on the mainland, and another portion is on a nearby barrier island across the Indian River.

The Eau Gallie Arts District, on the Indian River Lagoon, is known for its galleries and Foosaner Art Museum. Period buildings include the Rossetter House Museum & Gardens, restored to its 1908 appearance. Across the lagoon, Howard E. Futch Memorial Park at Paradise Beach faces the Atlantic Ocean. North, Brevard Zoo features a kayak tour through an African habitat. ― Google
