Interstate 4 East - DeBary to Daytona Beach

The city of Deltona originated as a Mackle Brothers idea of a master-planned community for retirees in 1962. Work broke ground and by April 1963, Deltona welcomed its first residents. Incorporation however did not occur until December 31, 1995¹ and as of the 2020 Census, Deltona was home to 93,692.

DeBary incorporated in 1993 to prevent annexation by Orange City to the north.²

Orange City, incorporated in 1882, was started by Dr. Seth French and company in 1874 with a purchase of 5,000 acres. The town derives its name from the thousands of orange trees planted in the area.³

Henry A. DeLand founded Lake Helen in 1883. The community was named after his daughter Helen.⁵
