Edgewater
11.86 Square Miles
The City of Edgewater lies just south of New Smyrna Beach along the Indian River, two miles west of the
Atlantic Ocean. Beginning as the small village of Hawk's Park in 1871 with 115 permanent
residents by 1887, the name was formally changed to Edgewater in 1925.
The apiaries of the early days evolved into a
large honey company, which exports internationally. A large paint factory, a thriving
building industry, boat building, garment factories and other light manufacturing provide
employment.
A friendly city with small town flavor, Edgewater
offers a wide variety of residential options.
