Editing Cocoa, Florida (section)

===Etymology===
Several stories circulate among Cocoa old timers as to how the town got its name. One story says that the mail used to come by river boat and was placed in an empty tin box labeled Baker's Cocoa. The box was nailed to a piling in the river next to downtown. Additionally, an early hotel in the area, located on the Indian River Lagoon, was named Cocoa House.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.florida-backroads-travel.com/cocoa-florida.html |title=Cocoa Florida from the Civil War to the Space Age |access-date=2016-02-01 |author=Mike Miller |year=2016 |work= Florida Backroads Travel }}</ref> Another story speaks of an elderly African-American woman who lived on the banks of the Indian River. She would supply hot cocoa to sailors traversing the Indian River. The sailors approaching her house were said to yell out "Cocoa!, Cocoa!", alerting the woman that they were present and wanted the beverage.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.cocoafl.org/908/History-Culture | title=History & Culture &#124; Cocoa, FL - Official Website }}</ref>
