History
The first non-native settlement in the area was by a family of freed slaves following the Civil War. In 1888, a group of men from Cocoa bought the entire tract of land, which went undeveloped until it was bought out in 1923 by a member of the group—Gus Edwards, Cocoa's city attorney. At that time, Edwards' total holdings included approximately 600 acres and he had stopped practicing law to devote all his efforts to developing the area.[4][5][6] The Town of Cocoa Beach was established on June 5, 1925. Gus C. Edwards was elected[citation needed] as Mayor and served as a commissioner along with J.A. Haisten, and R.Z. Grabel. On July 27, 1925, Cocoa Beach held its first official meeting at the Cocoa Beach Casino, and adopted the City Seal.[7] A little less than a month later, plans for a pier became official. By 1939, the town had 49 residents. During World War II, Cocoa Beach experienced money shortages for employees, and money to fix roads. On June 29, 1957, the town of Cocoa Beach incorporated into a city.In September, 1959, the city voted to add more sidewalks, improve the streets in residential areas and the main streets, and to pave more roads.[8] In 1965, Cocoa Beach High School requested that Cocoa Avenue, the street that the school was located on, be changed to Minutemen Blvd., in honour of the school's mascot, the Minuteman. Over the next couple decades, the school would come to offer the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme, and was ranked the 46th best high school in America in 2006. Cocoa Beach started its major growth during the 1960s (1000% population increase from 1950 to 1960)[5] due to America's space program. NASA's John F.

After manned space flights, the town held parades in honor of the astronauts. Many of the homes in Cocoa Beach are built on dredged mud and sand from the Banana River.

People could not sell their homes and some walked away from them.[citation needed] The Houston Astros held their spring training and Grapefruit League games in Cocoa Beach between 1964 and 1984[9].
