Isn't there a story that locals tell about Col. Titus winning the rights to name the town by winning a game of chess or something like that? I know I've heard that story from a number of different people over the years, but don't know if it's factual or just a widespread urban myth. In either case, since the story is so widespread by the locals, it is worth mentioning in the Wiki page either way.

I've heard it many times without variation--lived here for 18 years.
I suppose someone could start a "Greater Titusville" section but you have to keep statistics and facts straight. What is city government and city census and what you're including from the "Greater T'ville" area. Also, it's T'ville-Cocoa-Melb-OB that's the Metropolitan area recognized by the government. Anyway... Student7 12:44, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
I couldn't find any direct references to Titusville as "Space City, USA". I did, however, find many identifying Houston, Texas as such (including its Wikipedia article). Can anyone confirm its use to identify Titusville? Culicidae ( talk) 20:48, 29 June 2009 (UTC) I live hear and I can say with the utmost certainty that no one calls Titusville by this name... though I do like it, lol.
You are more likely to find "Space Capitol of the World" around town. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.89.121.33 ( talk) 01:19, 10 December 2014 (UTC)
A registered editor made a number of great improvements to the article. Thanks!
I do disagree, however, that an editor has to go to another article to verify bios that may (or may not) say that the notable has actually lived in Titusville. IMO, articles ought to be stand-alone, each having their own group of interested editors and quality. Therefore, a footnote, if seemingly valid, should be copied here. (usually there is no footnote in bio. Just a bald statement as to residence). Just my thought. Student7 ( talk) 19:46, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
An editor removed mention of the city recognizing student academic performance. I thought this was unique enough to leave as a one-sentence fact. Not done that often and articles are supposed to be about uniqueness after all. One sentence is hardly WP:UNDUE. Student7 ( talk) 20:05, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
I don't know anything about it, but it looks like it's a big thing judging from
all the schools that participate. As long as it's not getting a disproportionate amount of coverage, I don't see why it can't stay.

I am not convinced that the hall of fame has any connection with titusville, short of having its mail delivered from there, and (like everyone else in the north county) having its water and sewage supplied by the city. Student7 ( talk) 19:51, 16 April 2010 (UTC)
Grover Cleveland visited Titusville in 1888. I think he may have been in office at the time. Quite a big deal. Can't find good online ref. May have to use hardcopy. One line sufficient. Rockledge, too "while you are up!" :) Student7 ( talk) 22:43, 24 May 2010 (UTC)
I know pictures of launches are considered precious. BUT, the picture is not of Titusville, which is the WP:TOPIC. I think it should be removed/replaced with something in the city itself. Student7 ( talk) 01:04, 20 January 2011 (UTC)
Should astronauts and other notable NASA affiliates be included in the "Notable Residents" section simply because they live or have lived in Titusville? If every notable person who has ever been involved with the space program were included, not only would the list be too long to parse but all the other notable 'non-NASA' residents would be overshadowed.
Example:
This person was born in Jefferson, Iowa and only lives in Titusville for the job.
Please consider only adding the most notable people. Vanatom ( talk) 15:45, 27 March 2012 (UTC)

Titus Andromedon went there instead of his cruise because the town was his name. He toured some of the space centers there, and I do think there should be an In Popular Culture section about it.
Note: it isn't a brief reference, it's actually a major part of the episode where he tours the place.
