Area Information
The city's population was 43,761 as of the 2010 United States Census.
Titusville is on the Indian River, west of Merritt Island and the Kennedy Space Center.
History: The United States acquired Florida from Spain in 1821, and the Seminole Wars delayed settlement.
The community was originally called Sand Point, and a post office was established in 1859, although it closed a few months later. Henry T. Titus arrived in 1867, intending to build a town on land owned by his wife, Mary Hopkins Titus, daughter of a prominent planter from Darien, Georgia.
Beginning in the late 1950s, the growth of Cape Canaveral, and later the Kennedy Space Center on Merritt Island, made the community's economy, population and tourism grow considerably. However with the termination of the Space Shuttle program in 2012 some of the popular shopping malls fell in decline and were torn down.
The city is the only place in the world where the endangered Dicerandra thinicola, or "Titusville mint" grows. The fields are located along a 13 miles (21 km) strip between the Titusville wellfield and Mims.
