The population was 662 at the 2010 United States Census. It is part of the Palm Bay–Melbourne–Titusville Metropolitan Statistical Area, and is the smallest incorporated municipality (by population) in Brevard County.〔(Florida Population Estimates for Counties and Municipalities April 1, 2000-2008, Office of Economic and Demographic Research, The Florida Legislature )〕 ==History== The area that is now the town was previously used for raising cattle. Aerial photographs from circa 1943 of the area〔(Brevard County Property Appraiser 1943 Aerial Photos for Platbook 27-37-31 )〕〔(Brevard County Property Appraiser Platbook 28-37-06 )〕 show some native oak hammocks, pine lowlands, and cleared areas for cattle grazing. Three women, Virginia Wood, Elizabeth Nutting, and Margaret Hutchinson, came from Dayton, Ohio, following the end of World War II to the area of Melbourne, Florida. Their goal was to build a community from scratch for people wanting to establish a lifestyle that was simple and close to nature.〔(Reprint of Orlando Evening Star article, circa 1947 )〕 This social experiment〔Crepeau, Richard C. ''Melbourne Village: The First Twenty-five Years (1946-1971)'', University of Central Florida Press, 1988〕 was an “intentional community”, a response to the hardships of the Great Depression. The founders were influenced by the concepts and teachings of Ralph Borsodi, who also lived in Melbourne Village from 1950 to 1960.〔Crepeau, 1988. ppg 59-60.〕 Many early residents〔(Reprint of Miami Herald article, March 28, 1948 )〕 cleared their land, built their own houses, and ran small home businesses, from organic gardening to raising chinchillas, to help support themselves and their families.〔(Reprint of Melbourne Times article, May 2, 1947 )〕 There was a community store〔( Melbourne Village Community Store Interior )〕 run on the honor system.〔(Melbourne Village Community Store )〕 Early families overcame the lack of construction materials for civilian use immediately following World War II by purchasing and relocating surplus military barracks from nearby bases. Two of these barracks still remain, one being the Original Melbourne Village Hall and the other a private residence. The Town of Melbourne Village was incorporated in 1957 out of concern of being annexed by Melbourne or included in the incorporation of West Melbourne. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Melbourne Village, Florida」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
