Really? I must have missed that.
I did some research after I posted to you.
Lyndon Johnson changed the name of Cape Canaveral to Cape Kennedy by executive order, and announced his decision in a televised address six days after JFK’s assassination.
The people in the area preferred the name Cape Canaveral, however, and the Cape was officially re-named Cape Canaveral on October 9, 1973.
The Kennedy Space Center on Merritt Island, however, is still known as the Kennedy Space Center.
