[1] The Old Haulover Canal is a historic location north of Merritt Island, Florida.

According to the state historical marker near the site: Native Americans, explorers and settlers hauled or carried canoes and small boats over this narrow strip of land between Mosquito Lagoon and the Indian River.

Spaniards visited as early as 1605 and slid boats over the ground covered with mulberry tree bark.

Fort Ann was established nearby in 1837, during the 2nd Seminole War (1835–1842), to protect the haulover from Indians and carry military supplies from the lagoon to the river.

The Intracoastal Waterway incorporated the Haulover Canal as a federal project in 1927 to be maintained by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
