About location

Few places in Florida have a history as closely tied to early automobile speed trials as Ormond Beach. Set between the Atlantic Ocean and the Halifax River, the community forms part of the long coastal strip north of Daytona Beach. In 1903, its hard-packed beach hosted speed trials that drew leading drivers and manufacturers, helping establish this part of Florida in the early story of motor racing. Today, Ormond Beach combines residential neighbourhoods and oceanfront access with parks and conservation land, while Interstate 95 runs through its western side. The Ormond Beach Scenic Loop and Trail follows roads through coastal habitats and shaded riverfront areas.

The Atlantic Ocean and Halifax River define the setting of Ormond Beach — its barrier-island shore and sheltered stretch of the Intracoastal Waterway shape life around beaches, boating and riverfront parks. In the early 20th century, the firm sands hosted automobile speed trials, giving Ormond Beach its enduring “Birthplace of Speed” identity before racing moved south to Daytona Beach. The Casements, John D. Rockefeller’s former winter home on the Halifax River, is now a cultural center. The 30-mile Ormond Scenic Loop and Trail links the coast with river corridors and oak hammocks north of town.

Florida
Region Florida

Florida occupies a low-lying peninsula in the southeastern United States, bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the east and the Gulf of Mexico to the west. Lake Okeechobee lies near its centre, and water from this basin historically flowed south through the Everglades, a vast subtropical wetland protected in part by Everglades National Park. The Florida Keys extend southwest from the mainland, while long sandy coasts and inland freshwater systems shape everyday life across the state. St. Augustine, founded by Spain in 1565, is widely recognised as the oldest continuously inhabited European-established settlement in the United States.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
