Cocoa, Brevard County, Florida, USA

Cocoa lies on the mainland shore of the Indian River Lagoon in central Brevard County. Its riverfront, historic village and nearby pine flatwoods place it between old Florida landscapes and the rapidly growing Space Coast. The community developed in the late 19th century around citrus, river travel and the Florida East Coast Railway. Aerospace-related employment, tourism, health care, construction and local commerce now connect Cocoa with the wider region.
