Greenery, open space, unspoiled beaches,
and ocean vistas characterize Vero Beach, which
is the commercial and cultural center of Indian
River County. Originally a stop on the Florida East
Coast Railroad, Vero Beach was incorporated in 1910.
Vero Beach is a gentle, sophisticated and unpretentious
town which, since 1948, has been the smallest city
in the nation to have its own professional baseball
team: the Vero Beach Dodgers, the minor league team
of the Los Angeles Dodgers. In recent years, this
area has become home to America’s cultural
and corporate elite. It’s a place where high
level business deals are made on a handshake during
a round of golf and new friends are easily met at
the many and diverse area activities.
With a population of 17,209 as of the 2004 Census
Bureau estimates, Vero Beach is homey, yet casually
elegant. Vero Beach and Indian River County attract
visitors and residents because of the cultural wealth
and inherent natural beauty of the area. Known as
the “Gateway to the Tropics,” Vero Beach
is located in a climatic transition zone that offers
an unusual mix of vegetation found in the coastal
Carolinas – ancient oak trees and pine forests
– blended with swaying palms and colorful
blooms typical of the tropics. This area is also
recognized as the “Citrus Capital of the World,”
producing the finest Indian River citrus for the
domestic market and worldwide export.
