Florida Coast Line Canal & Transportation Company was granted a state charter in August 1881 to build and maintain a deeper and wider canal less than a mile north of the old canal. Digging began in 1885 and it opened in 1887-88. The New Haulover Canal was maintained and widened in the 1930s by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in the 1930s. Since then, it has been further widened and deepened and a basin for boat and kayak launches has been added. | Source: North Brevard Historical Society and MuseumDownload Original File
