		Cape Canaveral (Cabo Cañaveral in Spanish) is a strip of land in Brevard County, Florida, United States, near the center of that state's Atlantic coast.
		From 1963 to 1973 it was called Cape Kennedy: President John F. Kennedy was an enthusiastic backer of the space program, and after his assassination in 1963, his widow Jacqueline Kennedy suggested to President Lyndon Johnson that renaming the Cape Canaveral space facility would be an appropriate memorial.
		The Kennedy family issued a letter stating they "understood the decision"; Jacqueline Kennedy also stated if she had known that the Canaveral name had existed for 400 years, she never would have supported changing the name of the Cape.

	The Straight Dope: Why did they change the name of Cape Kennedy back to Cape Canaveral?
		Jackie Kennedy suggested it might be appropriate to rename Cape Canaveral--after all, her husband had been a big space-exploration buff, and had launched the Apollo program that would eventually put a man on the moon.
		Now, your average president would have taken "Cape Canaveral" to mean merely "the Cape Canaveral launch facility," which at the time consisted of two installations--Station Number 1 of the Atlantic Missile Range (operated by the Department of Defense) and the NASA Launch Operation Center.
		("Canaveral" is supposedly Spanish for "place of tall reeds.") The nearby towns of Cape Canaveral and Cocoa promptly sent resolutions protesting the change to LBJ and the governor of Florida, but in the hysterical atmosphere following the assassination nobody paid much attention.
