Meet the mayor, the honorable Fred Costello.

 

 

Welcome to the City of Ormond Beach, on Central Florida’s magnificent east coast. For more than 120 years, Ormond Beach has been known as an outstanding place to live. In fact, when legendary financier and philanthropist John D. Rockefeller, Sr. sent his advisors across the nation to find the best place to live and work, they chose Ormond Beach.  

 

The City is still known for its exceptional quality of life. It is also known as the Birthplace of Speed. Automobile racing began on the wide, smooth beaches of Ormond Beach in 1903, which led to many land-speed records, beach races in nearby Daytona Beach, and the founding of NASCAR. 

 

We have preserved John D’s winter home, The Casements, and celebrate our automotive history each Thanksgiving Day weekend with our Antique Car Show and Parade. 

 

In addition, we celebrated our Birthplace of Speed Centennial March 26-28, 2003, as several thousand fans watched as 50 of the world’s greatest antique race cars raced on the beach once again. We also re-dedicated the new, “Birthplace of Speed Park,” on the beach at Granada Blvd., with historic markers and replicas of the famous 1903 Winton Bullet and Olds’ Pirate. 

 

Today, Ormond Beach is home to 37,000 residents who value the miles of pristine rivers, forests and beaches that make us unique. Our Leisure Services Department was named one of the top four in the nation in 2002. 

 

We are rapidly becoming known as a preferred business address in Central Florida’s growing high-tech corridor, with an expanding Airport Business Park and AirPark. Our city employees are known for their friendly customer service.

 

Ormond Beach is an ideal place to live, work, raise a family or grow a business. Please explore our web site and contact us if you have any questions. Come visit us soon. You’ll see why Ormond Beach is the best place to be!

On April 26, 1867 at 12 Noon, the community of Port Orange was established on the banks of the Halifax River. Now some 140 years later, Port Orange is a community of 56,067 people who call this place home. It was not until the mid 1970’s when Dunlawton Avenue was extended from the FEC railroad to Nova Road did Port Orange start to see the early growth that would happen in the mid 1980s. According to the 1970 US Census, there were only 3,871 calling Port Orange home. With the second western extension of Dunlawton all the way out to Interstate 95, which occurred in 1978 with a price tag of $1.8 million, did Port Orange begin to blossom into the large metropolitan community that we know today.  Planned by choice, not by chance Port Orange blends beauty and opportunity within its 28 square miles. From its tree-lined streets to its parks, this community is the pride of Volusia County. This family, which we call Port Orange, is made up of some 150 distinct “neighborhoods”. They are the core of this community, making it a great place in which to live, learn, work, and play. Because of the City’s highly regarded development approach, an investment in Port Orange is a secure investment. Port Orange is a community characterized by a stable and successful business climate which develops, nurtures, and embraces quality businesses. And so today, as we celebrate over 135 years as a community, we are proud to call Port Orange “our home”.
