Location, location, location. The area of Deltona and surrounding communities was originally inhabited by nomadic Timucuans, who found fish and fresh water plentiful in the area. After Florida became a state in 1845, steamboats began to make regular trips up the St. Johns River to Lake Monroe. Today Deltona is nestled at the halfway point between Daytona Beach, AKA the World's Most Famous Beach and Orlando, the country's most popular tourist destinations. When you're here, two of Florida's best known places are only a half-hour drive away. 

Deltona was originally established as Deltona Lakes, a planned residential community, through the purchase of 17,203 acres of land. It was master-planned and developed by the General Development Corporation and the Mackle Brothers, Elliott, Robert and Frank. Since its opening in 1962, the community rapidly grew from a small subdivision to becoming one of the largest cities in Central Florida by the end of the 20th century. This was largely in part by the Mackle Brothers' worldwide marketing efforts showcasing small low maintenance homes offered at affordable prices. The city currently has a total area of 41.1 square miles and is mostly residential. Deltona primarily serves as a commuter town for the nearby cities of Orlando and Daytona Beach, as well as its surrounding communities. Deltona Lakes become incorporated as a city on December 31, 1995, with its name shortened to Deltona. Throughout the 2000s, the city would continue to grow in population, while maintaining a mainly residential landscape. As of the 2010 census, Deltona had a population of 85,182.

Just down the road, Halifax Health opened the city's first urgent care facility in April 2014. In recent years, new measures have been taken by city officials to begin attracting new businesses and industries into the city. Specially zoned areas in the city have been designated to allow for the development of upscale office facilities, light industrial space, health care facilities, warehousing and distribution facilities, commercial recreational facilities, and lodging services.
