A little local character

Before Palm Bay was called Palm Bay.

This cabin near Turkey Creek dates to about 1890, when the community was known as Tillman. Florida Memory notes that Tillman was renamed Palm Bay during the 1920s and identifies the cabin as the Culpepper house and the community's first school.
