Built around a land-development settlement established by Henry Addison DeLand, DeLand grew into the county seat of Volusia County. The city sits in inland central Florida within the broad St. Johns River basin, where wetlands, lakes and flat wooded terrain define the surrounding landscape. Downtown retains a walkable historic core, with the 1921 Athens Theatre standing as a prominent venue for performances. DeLand is also home to Stetson University, founded in 1883 and among Florida’s oldest private universities. Browse other webcams across Florida to place this setting in a wider geographic context.
