| About
the City
The City of Sebastian, considered one of the last
“Olde Florida” cities, is located about equidistance
between Jacksonville and Miami, just north of Vero Beach and south
of Melbourne. The “Home of Pelican Island” is located
on a triangular section of land formed by the Indian River Lagoon
and the St. Sebastian River. It is currently home to nearly 20,000
residents, as well as numerous businesses expanding in the community.
FREE FROM URBAN SPRAWL AND CONGESTION, SEBASTIAN
OFFERS THE IDEAL SETTING FOR LIVING LIFE TO THE FULLEST.
Sebastian is a relaxed costal city removed from
the hectic lifestyle of other Florida cities. Yet Sebastian is only
65 miles from the attractions of the Central Florida/Orlando area
and 60 miles from trendy South Florida/The Palm Beaches.
The City was first incorporated as the Town of
Sebastian in 1924. In the late 1950s General Development Corporation
purchased the land from the Mackle family of Miami and began the
development of a planned community that is now the City of Sebastian.
Rest assured, city government is committed to
making it as attractive as possible for a business to relocate,
expand, or startup in Sebastian by making land area usable and providing
the proper and necessary infrastructure—like roads, sewer
systems, and water works.
