Joseph H. Wickham
Joseph Horatio Wickham (1911-2000) was a prominent Brevard County, Florida politician serving on the County Commission from 1952 to 1964 and from 1972 to 1984. Wickham’s most notable achievements were securing rights of way for many of the county's current roadways, and establishing a permanent mosquito control program.〔http://floridatoday.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080221/BREAKINGNEWS/80221017/1086 Florida Today Newspaper〕 One of these roads is Wickham Road.
==Early life==
Originally from Iowa, Wickham arrived in Brevard County in 1926 at the age of 14. He attended Eau Gallie High School on Pineapple Avenue, graduating in 1928. He learned local geography working as a soft drink delivery driver. Later, he received training as a surveyor from his father, John Quincy Wickham. Surveys were made primarily of county wilderness during the early 1930s, a time when only a few dirt roads existed. During the thirties, Wickham served as Eau Gallie’s fire chief.〔Eriksen, John M.

During World War II, Wickham served with the United States Navy's Seabees, supervising runway and airport construction in the South Pacific. This wartime experience enabled him to start a small construction business in the late 1940s.〔Eriksen, John M. Brevard County, Florida: A Short History to 1955〕
