Mims is an unincorporated community of about 7,300 people (2020 census) just north of Titusville, at the east end of State Road 46 where it meets I-95 and US 1. It's named for the Mims family, who opened a general store around 1876, and citrus was the local business until the Nevins fruit company closed in the 1980s. The Harry T. and Harriette V. Moore Memorial Park and Cultural Center honors the civil rights leaders who lived here. (Mims, Florida)
