Melbourne has a humid subtropical climate, with mild weather during winters and hot weather during summers. Most of the inland areas farthest away from the ocean tend to have more extreme temperature ranges than those areas on the coast. Each season brings about unique problems for homeowners. For example, the cooler months will bring squirrels, opossums, raccoons, and rats or mice into a homeowner's attic or crawlspace, where they will birth their young.
In the warmer months, bees or wasps will make an appearance and will need to be removed from trees, walls, and other structures. Also, snakes will be seen more often in yards and in some cases, even inside homes. Also in the warmer months, you may experience an influx of problems with bats, moles, voles, armadillos, or nutria.
Melbourne originally was a training area for Confederate soldiers during the American Civil War. Some soldiers, who were attracted to the river and the ocean, returned and bought land at 5 cents per acre. After the Civil War, pioneer families arrived and Melbourne was founded in the late 1860s by former slaves. The city was named Melbourne in honor of its first postmaster, Cornthwaite John Hector, an Englishman who had spent much of his life in Melbourne, Australia.[
