Titusville is the name of several American cities, most notably in Florida and Pennsylvania.
The Florida city lies along the Space Coast, near Cape Canaveral and Kennedy Space Center: We watched the shuttle launch from Titusville.
The Pennsylvania city claims significance as the site of the first commercial oil well, drilled in 1859.
