The Wrap

Indialantic began as a one-square-mile beachside resort dream. In 1915, Ernest Kouwen-Hoven, originally from the Netherlands, came south from Chicago with his family to Melbourne and bought a strip of land between the Indian River and the Atlantic. The first map of "Indialantic-by-the-Sea" was recorded in 1916. Not a bad name for a beach town.
