| 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.
