NEW SMYRNA, FLORIDA
New Smyrna Beach is a beautiful, picturesque city that is nestled along the shores of Indian River in Volusia County. This coastal city is completely surrounded by bodies of water; the Atlantic Ocean to the east, the Intracoastal Waterway to the west and Mosquito Lagoon in between the two. New Smyrna Beach is located on Florida's east coast, in Central Florida, just 25 minutes from Daytona Beach. Two bridges on the northern end and the I-95 provide access to the island. Daytona Beach International Airport is 25 minutes away, while Orlando International Airport is about an hour from New Smyrna Beach.
Despite its proximity to the Daytona Beach area and Atlantic Ocean beaches–with more than eight million tourists annually–
New Smyrna Beach has a quiet charm and small-town
ambiance all its own. New Smyrna Beach is home to a nationally recognized cultural center for performing and visual arts. A vibrant beach side boutique shopping district, historic downtown and antique district, excellent restaurants and beautiful parks contribute to the charm. Golfing, fishing (freshwater and saltwater) and a host of outdoor recreational activities are part of everyday life. It is a community in which the schools, churches and cultural diversity play an important role. New Smyrna Beach has a strong community spirit and offers a superior quality
of life for families to live, work, learn and play.
New Smyrna Beach occupies a notable place in history as the site of the largest single attempt at colonial settlement in what is now the United States. Dr. Andrew Turnbull, a Scottish physician and entrepreneur, obtained a grant of land from the British Crown. In 1768 he established a colony of 1,225 immigrants on the coastal plantations at New Smyrna, with a view toward the commercial production of such crops as corn, indigo, rice, hemp, and cotton. The land that the Turnbull colonists settled is located along the west bank of the Indian River, opposite one of coastal east Florida's relatively few inlets.
For some 10,000 years before the arrival of the Europeans, Native Americans inhabited the area, initially on a nomadic basis and later in more sedentary camps and villages. Until the early twentieth century, the coastline was strewn with mounds of ancient refuse that testified to the presence of the Indians. Most of the mounds were destroyed, the shell used for roads and building construction material. However, much evidence of prehistoric habitation remains hidden under ground and water within the corporate limits of New Smyrna Beach and beyond.
