Sister-city to Rockledge, FL
Bordered by four miles of the beautiful Indian River to the east, Cocoa sits in the heart of Brevard County, Florida with easy access to the beaches, Port Canaveral and Kennedy Space Center. First settled in the 1860s, and supposedly named after a box of Baker's Cocoa delivered to Willard's General Store, the City of Cocoa was incorporated in 1895.
One of the most appealing areas of Cocoa is a section called "Canaveral Groves".
This area of real estate is tucked away in a low traffic area with dirt
roads and many acres. People find this section to be their escape from the city
life and return to quiet ranch-style living. In Canaveral
Groves, there are still vacant land lots available and each day people buy these
lots and build new construction homes.
Unlike many Florida communities with a high concentration of seniors, Cocoa's largest age group is in the 20 - 44 range. The population of more than 16,600 can enjoy recreational activities such as boating, parasailing, sail boarding, water-skiing, sailing and horseback riding. Fresh water fishing on the nearby St. Johns River and salt water fishing in the Indian River and Atlantic Ocean are also popular pastimes.
The City of Cocoa operates a water utility system that covers the entire central part of Brevard County servicing over 68,000 households, and distributing an average of 28 million gallons of water daily.
One of the most visited Cocoa attractions is Cocoa Village, a picturesque commercial shopping area adjacent to the Indian River featuring quaint stores and restaurants, cobblestone sidewalks, period street lamps and landscaping. A boardwalk and regional park have also been constructed along the historic waterfront area. Near Cocoa Village you will also find newly constructed high-rise riverfront condos like Whitley Bay, Whitley West. Other Cocoa, FL places of interest include Brevard Museum of History and Natural Science, Brevard Community College main campus and Planetarium and Cocoa Expo Stadium.
