Eau Gallie Historic District

Eau Gallie Historic District is a neighborhood in Melbourne with historic buildings positioned along the Indian River waterfront. The area features restored structures from different periods now occupied by restaurants, galleries, shops, and office spaces that line the riverside.

The district developed during the 1920s with construction of landmark buildings that reflected the area's economic and residential importance at that time. These early structures passed through different uses and purposes as the region transformed over subsequent decades.

The district draws artists and creative professionals who have established galleries and studios throughout its streets. These creative spaces shape how locals and visitors experience the area today, making it a gathering point for the community.

The area is easy to explore on foot with open walkways and waterfront access making most buildings reachable from the main paths. Daytime visits work best for seeing galleries and shops in full activity, and the riverside setting offers natural spots to pause and take in the surroundings.

The Houston Pioneer Cemetery holds graves of the area's first inhabitants and remains largely overlooked by typical visitors exploring the district. This quiet burial ground offers a direct connection to the region's origins and the early families who settled here.
