History

Port Canaveral, known today as one of the busiest cruise ports in the world, has a rich history dating back to the 16th century. Initially used by Spanish explorers, the port was officially established in 1953 when the Canaveral Harbor District was created by the Florida Legislature. Prior to this, it was a small fishing port with no significant commercial value.

In the early 1960s, the port underwent significant expansion due to the establishment of the Kennedy Space Center. This led to a major increase in cargo traffic, further boosting the local economy. The port's growth continued unabated, and in the 1980s it began catering to cruise ships. Today, Port Canaveral is a major economic driver in the region, contributing over $3.9 billion annually to the local economy and supporting more than 32,000 jobs.
