Deltona is a premiere City that takes pride in our neighborhoods and embraces the diversity of our residents. This caring community provides a high quality of life where people live, work and play in a safe and secure environment. With an appreciation for their history, and location along the St. John’s River, they ensure a sustainable future through the careful stewardship of our resources. The first inhabitants of southwest Volusia County were Nomadic Timucuans who found fish and fresh water plentiful in the area. After Florida became a state in 1845, steamboats began to make regular trips up the St. Johns River to Lake Monroe.
Things were rather quiet in southwestern Volusia
from those early years of the century until 1962, when the Mackle
Brothers brought 17,203 acres, filed a planned unit development for a
community of 35,143 lots, and named the area Deltona. Work began almost
immediately, and the first Deltonans took up residence in April of 1963.
By the end of that year, Deltona had a population of 180 people
comprising 78 families. School bus service was started, and
construction a golf course. In 1970, the U.S. Census recorded 4,868 inhabitants; by 1980, Deltona's population was 15,710. The growth of the community continued at the amazing rate of about 130 new families per month to reach more than 52,000 people in 1991, and all indications are that this growth will hold steady for the foreseeable future.
