About Ormond Beach
Ormond Beach (~43,125 residents, 2020 Census; ~45,021 estimated 2026, per worldpopulationreview.com, read September 24, 2026) is a beachfront city directly north of Daytona Beach, founded in 1875 as "New Britain" by settlers from Connecticut. Known as the "Birthplace of Speed" for the early-1900s automobile races on its hard-packed sand — where pioneers like Glenn Curtiss set records — it was also a Gilded Age winter resort: Henry Flagler's Ormond Hotel hosted John D. Rockefeller, whose winter home The Casements is now a cultural center. The Granada district, Tomoka State Park, and a drive-on beach round out one of the metro's most established, amenity-rich suburbs.
