The oldest city in the county, Rockledge was officially founded on August 7, 1887
The name Rockledge, attributed to Gardner S. Hardee, an early settler, comes from the many ledges of coquina rock that line the Indian River. Other sources refer to a man named Cephas Bailey Magruder, who built his home after settling in the area in 1876 near the Indian River. Magruder called his home “The Rockledge Home” and the name was eventually attributed to the whole town. It was originally referred to as Rock Ledge; the two-word name persisted through the 19th century. Whatever you call it, its history, Rockledge is a town we enjoy travelling to for AC repair service calls. Contact us anytime.
