Best Answer

The closer a launch site is to the Equator, the more one can take advantage of the boost given from the eastward rotation of the Earth itself. This rotational inertial energy makes it so less fuel energy is required to reach Escape Velocity.

Cape Canaveral is located about as far south as one can get on continental U.S. territory and still be located a safe distance from a crowded urban center. It also has the advantage of proximity to highways and rail that ease the delivery of large rocket components to the launch site.
