The Eau Gallie River was formally named Elbow Creek.[1] Currently, Elbow Creek is a branch and tributary of the Eau Gallie River. In 1895, a bridge was built across the Eau Gallie River.[1] In 1907, the Eau Gallie Yacht Club was formed as yachting became highly popular in the area.[2] In 1910, the Eau Gallie Yacht Club built a clubhouse along the Eau Gallie River and remained at that location until 1960.[3]
