Scobie arrived in his schooner and established what would eventually become a large fishing fleet. With the arrival of the railroad, the Scobie Fish & Oyster Company became a major supplier of seafood to the cities of the East Coast. He also operated a local ferry service with his steamer Ancient City.

This imposing structure once served as the Titusville area’s largest citrus processing and packing plant, and is evidence of the industrial scale that grove production reached during the twentieth century. The packing floor covered 31,474 square feet, with a 14,621 square foot mezzanine. A detached office building stood nearby. In the 1890s this area developed into a largescale citrus center when New York Fire Chief Thomas F. Nevins began to buy and develop groves. His “Nevins Fruit Company” became a major shipper of citrus to northern markets. Around the turn of the twentieth century, Jesse J. Parrish, who is credited with being a pioneer of citrus in the Indian River area helped transform the Nevins Fruit Company into a regional shipping association of local citrus growers and later founded the Florida Citrus Production Credit Association. Parrish also served for more than two decades in the Florida legislature, defending the interests of the citrus industry. The huge packing plant structure that he and later generations of his family managed serves as a symbol of the scale that the North Brevard citrus industry attained.

Titusville’s first aviation center, the Arthur Dunn Airpark, was established as a county airport in 1927. It was originally a 45-acre property leased to Brevard County by three local families to be used as an emergency landing strip for the US Airmail. During the initial term of the lease, Mr. Arthur Dunn, then serving as a Brevard County Commissioner, supported the acquisition of an additional 40-acre tract located north of the emergency landing field. This act of support for the small airport was acknowledged by county leaders by naming the field after him. The leases on the entire 85-acre property remained in effect until 1947, when the county purchased it primarily as a base for its mosquito control operations. During WWII, it was also used as an auxiliary training field for navy pilots operating out of Sanford Airfield and the Titusville-Cocoa Auxiliary Field, now known as Space Coast Regional Airport. In 1966 the county transferred ownership of the Arthur Dunn Airpark to the Titusville-Cocoa Airport Authority. It is now used as a base for skydiving and private aviation.
