Eau Gallie was its own city until 1969, when it voted to merge with Melbourne. Its old center is now the Eau Gallie Arts District on Highland Avenue, a block from the Indian River, and Eau Gallie Boulevard runs east to the causeway and the beaches. Housing ranges from old riverfront homes to mid-century streets set back from the water.

Like the rest of the city, Eau Gallie is on Melbourne's water supply. The well calls here are mostly for irrigation pumps on long-established yards, and a number of those pumps and fittings are as old as the landscaping.
