Melbourne’s nicknames are: The Harbor City and The Midway City. It is located 72 mi southeast of Orlando. The city, formerly called “Crane Creek”, was named Melbourne in honor of its first postmaster, Cornthwaite John Hector, an Englishman who had spent much of his life in the City of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.
In the late 1890s, the Brownlie-Maxwell Funeral Home opened and it is still in business. The oldest Black-owned business in the county is Tucker’s Cut-Rate plumbing. It opened in 1934.
