  • Long Before Man Was Collecting Rock Samples from the Moon, the Earliest Inhabitants of the Space Coast Spent Their Days Hunting and Fishing to Survive
    Early Settlers Story Long before man was collecting rock samples from the moon, the earliest inhabitants of the Space Coast spent their days hunting and fishing to survive. These early inhabitants were an ancient Indian tribe called the Ais (pronounced Ay-ess) who lived along the east coast of Florida from Cape Canaveral in the north to as far south as Fort Pierce. Archaeological surveys, conducted during the early 1960s in the Kennedy Space Center and Cape Canaveral Air Force Station area, revealed remnants of Indian fishing sites, burial grounds, and Indian mounds that are hundreds or thousands of years old. According to Mario Busacca, NASA Lead, planning and special projects with the Environmental Program Branch, there is evidence that the Ais Indians used an area called Futch Cove near the VIP Launch Viewing Site along the Banana River for a fishing camp. “Surveys revealed evidence of ancient hearths or fireplaces for cooking,” said Busacca. In 1513 Ponce de Leon arrived with three ships, in search of gold and glory. He landed along the coast and went ashore south of the Cape to replenish water and wood supplies. Not finding treasure, he sailed down the coast to the Florida Keys. He is credited with discovering Florida. In 1562 a Frenchman named Jean Ribault sailed a fleet of French ships called the Ribault Fleet to the Cape area. During a tropical storm the ships were destroyed off the coast. Using what was left of the ships, Ribault and his men built and established Fort Caroline, near the area of the Space Shuttle launch pads.
