Edgewater

 

Edgewater, Florida is a community nestled alongside the Indian River. It's an Intra coastal waterfront village that offers all the charm you would expect to find in small town Florida. But there is something more. This is a place where one can enjoy all the comforts of home within a stone's throw of the best boating and fishing in the state, yet still engage in spirited business and commercial activity.

Originally called Hawk's Park, the community was established in 1871. Within fifteen years it had 115 permanent residents and was a favorite of northerners who would winter in the area. By 1925 the community adopted the more descriptive name of Edgewater and was beginning to grow in earnest. Today, Edgewater encompasses 7,040 acres with just over 17,000 residents, still a small town by most standards. And it is home to many award-winning businesses and companies that lead the field in their industries. Among those businesses calling Edgewater home are paint, building, boating, garment and honey industries.
