History

The Eau Gallie River was formally named Elbow Creek.Scofner, Jerrell H. "History of Brevard County Volume I" (Stuart, FL: Brevard County Historical Commission, 1995), 133.] Currently, Elbow Creek is a branch and tributary of the Eau Gallie River. In 1895, a bridge was built across the Eau Gallie River. In 1907, the Eau Gallie Yacht Club was formed as yachting became highly popular in the area. [Stone, Elaine Murray. "Brevard County" (Northbridge, CA: Windsor Publications, Inc., 1988), 39.] In 1910, the Eau Gallie Yacht Club built a clubhouse along the Eau Gallie River and remained at that location until 1960.
