About Cocoa · City guideBrevard County guide →
Cocoa grew from a fishing settlement on the Indian River whose first families arrived around 1860; it was first platted as 'Indian River City' in 1882, took the name Cocoa by 1884, and incorporated in 1895 after the railroad reached town. The city fronts about four miles of the Indian River, and its riverfront Historic Cocoa Village district is home to Riverfront Park, the Porcher House and the Historic Cocoa Village Playhouse.
