History
Satellite Beach became incorporated in 1957 by Percy L. Hedgecock and his brothers, B. D. (Shine) and Herbert (Hub) Hedgecock, along with cousins Jimmy Caudle and Dumont Smith. Hedgecock also served as the town's first mayor from 1957 until 1973.
In 2010, the city began planning for a rise in sea level resulting from climate change.
As of 2011, volunteers have provided more than 10,000 hours each year to youth and public service programs.
In 2011, the city became one of the first areas in the United States to install solar panels on municipal buildings.
In 2013, the city announced that it would undertake $36 million worth of work to restore beach areas and dunes along the coast, battered by hurricanes in 2004. The project was underwritten by Brevard County and the Florida Department of Environmental Protection.
As of 2013, the only traditional Jewish synagogue, Chabad of the Space & Treasure Coasts, along the Brevard County coastline is in the city.
On December 4, 2013, there was a parade in celebration of the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah. There were one hundred Menorah-topped vehicles, a Menorah lighting, free food (including traditional Latkes), and live entertainment.
As of 2013, the annual Ocean, Reef, and Beach Festival is organized by the Surfrider Foundation, Pure Ocean TV Productions and Anglers for Conservation.
