History of Eau Gallie

Eau Gallie’s history dates to 1859, when John Carroll Houston became the area’s first permanent settler. William Henry Gleason later acquired substantial land along the Indian River and laid out a town called Eau Gallie, a name associated with the area’s rocky shoreline and waters.

The community grew as a river town and gained additional momentum after the Florida East Coast Railway reached Eau Gallie in 1893. Transportation by river and rail supported agriculture, fishing, tourism, and commerce throughout the area.

Eau Gallie and Melbourne eventually consolidated in 1969. Although Eau Gallie is no longer an independent municipality, the historic name and identity remain an important part of northern Melbourne. The Eau Gallie Historic District and Eau Gallie Arts District preserve and build on that history today.
