Description
Daytona Beach is a city located in Volusia County. As of 2004, the population estimates recorded by the U.S. Census Bureau is 64,422. Daytona Beach comprises a mainland and a peninsula separated by the Intracoastal Waterway, locally called the Halifax River. The peninsula includes the world-famous beach along the Atlantic Ocean. In 1927, during the early days of racing on the beach, one of the city’s founding fathers created the slogan, “The World’s Most Famous Beach.” Currently, over eight million tourists flock to Daytona Beach each year to enjoy the beach and the city’s events. Daytona Beach was named for its founder, Matthias Day. Daytona was incorporated in 1876. The towns of Daytona, Daytona Beach and Seabreeze combined to form Daytona Beach in 1926.

Daytona Beach’s wide beach and smooth sands have been open to drivers for many years and were also used for the high-speed testing and racing of cars and motorcycles. This made the beach a Mecca for racing enthusiasts and the city is now home to the Daytona International Speedway (a conventional racetrack founded by William France, which replaced the famous beach course in 1959). Close to the Speedway and adjacent to Daytona Beach International Airport is Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, a world-class university for the training of pilots and aviation professionals.
