Ormond Beach, FL

Air Conditioner and Heater Repair Services

Early settlers in the Ormond Beach, FL, area were the Timucuan Indians who arrived early in the 1500s. A village then known as Nocoroco was mentioned in the written communications of DePrado to the King of Spain. The tribe disappeared from this area over the next 200-year period. During a brief British involvement in the region in the latter part of the 18th century, there was a focus on the growth of rice and indigo. The area suffered dramatically during the Second Seminole War, and many plantations in the area were destroyed. The area’s timber prompted a shipbuilding boom that lasted until ship construction during the Civil War focused more on ironclad ships.

Land sales brought new settlers who were in search of orange groves in the 1870s. Incorporation of the community occurred in 1880. The town was named after an early settler, James Ormond. In 1902, the first speed trial was held on the beach, prompting the area’s move into auto racing that allowed it to become known as the birthplace of speed. John D. Rockefeller also spent time in the community after sending employees to find the most pollution-free environment for him to spend winter months in 1914. His presence in the area over the next 19 years drew other notable figures as visitors, as well.
