Shiloh’s is named after a remote fishing village with a heritage of Florida cattle drivers and fisherman, now largely lost to time. Currently uninhabited, Shiloh was an active community during the turn of the 19th to the 20th Century, and had the distinction of being the northern-most location in Brevard County. At the beginning of the NASA's space program, the village was annexed to John F. Kennedy Space Center (KSC) along with parts of the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge and the Canaveral National Seashore. Shiloh is now a designated “dark sky” site used by the Kennedy Space Center Amateur Astronomers and the Brevard Astronomical Society for astronomical observation and imaging.
