Ormond Beach: The Birthplace of Speed on the Halifax River
Ormond Beach sits at the northern end of Volusia County's coastal strip, just north of Daytona Beach along the Halifax River and the Atlantic Ocean. The city earned its "Birthplace of Speed" designation in 1903 when Ransom Olds and Alexander Winton raced their automobiles on the hard-packed sand beach, an event that preceded the formal establishment of Daytona International Speedway by more than half a century. That race launched a tradition of speed trials on Volusia County beaches that continued through the 1930s.
John D. Rockefeller spent his winters in Ormond Beach from the 1910s until his death in 1937. His estate, The Casements, now serves as a community cultural center on the Halifax River. The building hosts art exhibits, concerts, and civic events, and stands as one of the city's most recognized landmarks. The Ormond Hotel, which attracted the wealthy during the Gilded Age, no longer exists, but its former grounds near the beach remain part of the city's historical identity.
Ormond Beach has roughly 41,000 residents spread across a mix of beachside condominiums, mainland neighborhoods, and newer subdivisions west of Interstate 95. The Tomoka River and Tomoka State Park, located at the confluence of the Tomoka and Halifax rivers, offer kayaking, fishing, and nature trails through a landscape of marshes and hardwood hammocks. The city's economy draws on healthcare, retail along Granada Boulevard, and proximity to the Daytona Beach tourism and racing industries.
