Brevard County, seventy-two-plus
miles long, fronts the Atlantic Ocean for its full
length. Business and industry make up a significant
part of the economy, along with agriculture. Widely
believed to have been named for Thomas W. Brevard,
the Florida Comptroller at the time of the creation,
the County was created by an act of the Florida
Legislature in 1854, and signed into law by the
governor in early 1855. At the time of its formation,
it encompassed all of St. Lucie County and stretched
all the way to the Dade County border but took on
its present day shape and size in 1905.
Today the exciting County is home to approximately
461,000 people residing in fifteen municipalities
and unincorporated areas. |
