Cemeteries in Brevard County (County)
Florida, United States
Brevard County, located along Florida’s east-central Atlantic coast, was established in 1855 and named after Judge Theodore W. Brevard, an early Florida state comptroller.
Originally inhabited by the Ais and Timucua Indigenous peoples, the area saw limited European settlement during the Spanish colonial era. Significant development began in the 19th century, with settlers of European descent—primarily from the American South—establishing small agricultural communities. Brevard remained largely rural until the 20th century, when the arrival of the Florida East Coast Railway spurred growth. The county’s identity transformed dramatically with the rise of the U.S. space program in the 1950s and 1960s. Cape Canaveral and the Kennedy Space Center became central to America’s space exploration efforts, earning the area the nickname “Space Coast.” Originally part of Spanish Florida and later a U.S. territory, Brevard is now a major technological and aerospace hub.
Cemeteries such as Eau Gallie Cemetery reflect its early settler heritage.
