Titusville

Titusville is the name of several places in the United States. The two most notable are Titusville, Florida, and Titusville, Pennsylvania. Titusville, Florida, is a city in Brevard County located on the east coast of the state along the Indian River, near the Kennedy Space Center and Cape Canaveral. It forms part of the Space Coast region and serves as a gateway to nearby beaches, wildlife refuges, and launch facilities. The city was founded in the 1860s by Henry T. Titus and developed as a timber and railroad community before diversifying into tourism and services. Its historic downtown and riverfront parks reflect its early commercial era, and it retains several heritage districts and museums.

Titusville, Pennsylvania, sits in Crawford County along Oil Creek and the Allegheny River. It rose to prominence as the cradle of the American oil industry after Edwin Drake drilled the first successful well at nearby Drake's Well in 1859. The town is part of the Oil Region National Heritage Area and preserves petroleum-era sites such as the Drake Well Museum and historic oil-boom architecture. Today it is a small city with a diversified local economy, including manufacturing, healthcare, and tourism tied to oil-history attractions.

There are other smaller communities named Titusville in the United States, but the two above are the best known.
