Daytona Beach, Florida History and Culture

Daytona Beach, Florida real estate has witnessed many changes over the years. The area was once inhabited by the Timucuan Indians, who lived in fortified villages. War and disease later decimated the tribe, which is now extinct. The next settlers were Spanish Franciscans, beginning in the late 16th century. Florida was acquired from Spain by the United States in 1821, although permanent settlement was delayed until after the Second Seminole War from 1835-42. When the American Civil War ended, Florida experienced a boom in tourism.

Daytona Beach was founded in 1870 and incorporated in 1876. Daytona Beach was named for its founder, Matthias Day. In 1886, the St. Johns & Halifax River Railway arrived in Daytona. Railroad baron Henry Flagler bought the railway in 1889 and made it part of his Florida East Coast Railway system.

The separate towns of Daytona and Seabreeze merged to form Daytona Beach in 1926, at the urging of civic leader J.B. Kahn and others. A year later it was dubbed “The World’s Most Famous Beach.”

Daytona Beach is located roughly at the southern end of the cultural South, so the local culture remains somewhat Southern, but due to mass migration from northern states, it is in many ways more similar to South Florida. The architecture and style of its older homes and buildings and the culture and speech of its older, locally-born inhabitants leaves no doubt as to its cultural roots.

Daytona Beach’s Southern heritage cannot be completely forgotten however, thanks to the presence of NASCAR, the immensely popular motorsports organization. Daytona’s wide beach of smooth, compacted sand attracted automobile and motorcycle races beginning in 1902, as pioneers in the industry tested their inventions. The area was later nicknamed “The Birthplace of Speed.” On March 8, 1936, the first stock car race was held on Daytona Beach. In 1959, William France opened Daytona International Speedway to replace the beach course. Automobiles are still permitted on the beach, although now only at slow speeds.

Daytona Beach has often been viewed as a party town. It has been a traditional destination for people who want to drink and get rowdy. While the city is often associated with Spring Break, the efforts of the local government to discourage rowdiness have nearly ended Daytona’s former preeminence as a Spring Break destination. Indeed, so few students (relative to past years) have come to Daytona Beach since 2002 that city officials have stopped estimating their numbers and Daytona Beach has evolved into a more family-friendly beach destination.

Daytona Beach, Florida Attractions, Activities and Amenities

Daytona Beach, Florida real estate attracts more than 8 million visitors each year. While the Spring Break crowd has moved on to other venues, annual motorcycle events such as Bike Week (in March) and Biketoberfest (in October) draw hundreds of thousands of bikers to the city from all over the world.

Part of the city’s reinvention included a multi-million dollar clean-up and renovation of the beachfront area that paved the way for Ocean Walk Village, an exclusive development of hotels, restaurants and shops that boasts its own Caribbean-themed water park. In addition, a number of child-oriented museums and theme parks have opened, drawing more families to the area. Dozens of golf and fishing options are also available. The Boardwalk Amusement Area and Pier is a traditional slice of family fun, with shops, arcades, amusements and a classic wooden pier that stretches a quarter mile out into the Atlantic Ocean.

The Daytona 500 is the premier NASCAR event of every year and is held each February at Daytona International Speedway, which seats 168,000, with nearly 100,000 more looking on from the 180-acre infield surrounded by the two-and-one-half-mile tri-oval race track. In July the speedway hosts another NASCAR race, the Pepsi 400. Daytona USA, located at the speedway, offers the ultimate in interactive information, entertainment and motion simulation to help fans and novices appreciate the finer points of speed. The Speed Zone, across the street from the speedway, is a thrill park that offers go-kart and speedster racing.

The Ponce de Leon Inlet Lighthouse & Museum, just south of Daytona Beach, dates to 1887. At 175 feet, it is the second-tallest lighthouse in the U.S. and the only lighthouse in Florida listed as a National Historic Landmark. Deactivated in 1970, the light was restored in 1982. The site includes restored keepers’ dwellings and outbuildings as well as the spectacular lens exhibit building.
