Melbourne Village is a small community located in Brevard County adjacent to the larger cities of Melbourne and West Melbourne.
In 1947, a group of people from Dayton, Ohio, came to Florida and bought a .5 square mile of land between Melbourne and West Melbourne. To maintain the area's identity, they named it Melbourne Village. |

In 1957, the Town of Melbourne Village was incorporated. Pressure had been put on Melbourne to expand to handle the growth brought by the space program. To avoid annexation, the Village became a separate municipality. |
