Ays lived in Melbourne Beach

In the pre-Columbian times, the Ais inhabited the great lagoon of Florida. The Spanish called the area Rio de Ais, meaning "River of the Ais." In the 17th century, Jonathan Dickinson wrote about the Ais in his journal.

The Ais lived in villages along the shores of the great lagoon. They were primarily pineapple growers. In addition, they cultivated rice, bananas, and coconuts. These were also the crops grown in Melbourne Beach on the Great Ocean Road from Melbourne. In the early 1900s, the town did not experience population growth. It was not until the construction of the toll bridge in 1923 that the town became incorporated.

The town of Melbourne Beach lies within the humid subtropical climate zone, which is defined by short winters and hot summers. It is home to a variety of industries, including retail, education, and entertainment. In total, 20 percent of the town's labor force is employed in one of these industries.

Pier built by Melbourne and Atlantic Railroad Company in 1909

The pier built by Melbourne and Atlantic Railroad Company in 1909 on the Great Ocean Road is a very important milestone in the history of Melbourne Beach. Initially the town was only accessible by a machete. Eventually new roads, and a toll bridge to Indialantic, were built. This was a huge catalyst for the growth of the town. In 1923 the town was incorporated. However, for the first 40 years it had no streets. The foundations of the town were built during the winter of 1888-1889.

It was not until Major Cyrus Graves, a Union veteran, began buying government land in 1883 that the town was able to make a move to improve the infrastructure. The pier and the toll bridge were built, and the company began construction of a railroad. The company also bought a trailer for a tram and purchased an eight-passenger gasoline powered Buda motor tram. It also built a bathhouse on the ocean side of the track.

Ays lived in villages and towns along the shores of Rio de Ais by the Spanish

The Ays are the Native Americans that lived along the Atlantic Coast of Florida in pre-Columbian times. During the Spanish colonization of Texas, they and their cousins the Caddos played an important role in the history of East Texas. In fact, the town that became the city of Dallas was founded on land originally owned by the Ais. One of the best places to see Ais artifacts is in the Ais Museum.

The Ays were one of the first to use the alphabet and they certainly did a good job at it. The Ays had many towns and villages throughout the area. The Ays were proud of their accomplishments. The Ays did a pretty good job of protecting their own but there were many attempts by the Spanish to take them down in the late 17th century.

Girona

We visited the city of Girona quite often, but, surprisingly, all our visits were connected with the local airport – one of Russian low-cost airlines brings tourists there. And almost all the time, we perceived Girona as a “neighborhood of Barcelona” and a kind of “old step” on the way to the big city. It was totally undeserved. Finally, we decided to correct this injustice. I have not seen such enthusiasm to take photos for a long time.   The history of the city begins before our era, because the Iberians who settled these places needed a fortified structure on the road to Gaul, and the Romans needed the same for wars with the Moors . It was the Romans who gave the name “Gerund” to the settlement, which later became Girona. The County of Girona (one of 14 original Catalan counties), which passed under the rule of various ruling dynasties (mainly France and Spain), was formed as a result of various feudal collisions in the Middle Ages.   In relatively recent history, Girona has been da

Nice

  Nice is among the best cities to go to in France and will surely make you glad you decided to spend your vacation there. It lies in the French Riviera region, in Southern France, bordered on one side by the Atlantic Ocean and on the other by the Mediterranean Sea. Nice is also quite a good place to base yourself during your visit for exploring the rich cultural history of this lovely region. In addition to being an attractive tourist destination, Nice has many attractions for travelers to check out. One of the best things about Nice is the diversity of its culture and climate. Because Nice is bordered by the Mediterranean Sea, its weather is often hot and humid, giving Nice the distinction of being the best places to swim during the summer. Other than Nice beaches, there are other great places to enjoy Nice holidays, such as the Picasso Museum, which is well worth a visit, as is the Basilica de Nice. People who enjoy art will find much to appreciate in Nice and the surrounding region

Monaco

Monaco, ruled by Prince Albert II of the Grimaldi dynasty, is one of the few principalities that have survived to this day. The history of this principality is rooted in the depths of centuries, and dates back to the time of the Phoenicians (and this, just think of it, the 10th century BC!). The modern history of Monaco began when the colony of the Genoese Republic was founded in this area in 1215, in then Francesco Grimaldi became a local ruler in 1297 . So, the Grimaldi dynasty has been ruling in Monaco for more than 700 years, from 1297 to our days (of course, given the fact that during this impressive period there were wars and regime changes in Europe, as a result of which Monaco passed under the protectorate of various states).   The most significant personalities that influenced the fate of the principality during the 20th century include Aristotle Onassis, who significantly strengthened the Monaco economy with his investments, and Prince Rainier III, who developed the country’s
