Ponce De Leon is said to have arrived in Florida at the shores of the future county in 1513. "Mosquito County" was formed while the state was still a territory, and on some maps is absorbed into an unofficial "Leigh Read" county between 1839 and 1845. "Saint Lucia County" was created in 1844: it was renamed Brevard County in 1855 after George Washington Brevard: who served as Florida State Controller from 1854 to 1860. Between 1907 & 1910, St. Lucie County was created from the southern third of the county. There was a drive in the mid-1990s of creating a county out of the northern-third of the current borders, but it did not pass.
In the 1800s the Hernandez-Capron Trail passed through the county.
Starting in the early 1990s, there was a lot of discussion in the county, especially in the southern and central part of the county, to officially move the county seat from Titusville to what was at that time uninhabited cow pasture land, now called Viera. This move was very controversial. While Viera would have provided a location for administration of the county nearer to the county's major population center (Melbourne and Palm Bay, the two largest cities in Brevard County are 50 miles from Titusville), many suspected that the real reasons the center of government was moved was to enrich the owners of the once valueless land. An amendment was put onto the ballot to default on the bonds which the county had issued to pay for the massive building project, but it failed.
There has also been a movement in Northern Brevard County to break away from the rest of the county and become a new county with the proposed name Playalinda County.
