The area was first settled in 1804 by 20 families who came to raise indigo and sugar cane. The fertile soil was (and still is) favorable for citrus and other crops which could be shipped to market on the Halifax River. Port Orange was incorporated in 1926. On April 26, 1867, at 12 Noon, the community of Port Orange was established on the banks of the Halifax River. Now some 140 years later, Port Orange is a community of 56,067 people who call this place home. It was not until the mid-1970’s when Dunlawton Avenue was extended from the FEC railroad to Nova Road did Port Orange start to see the early growth that would happen in the mid-1980s. According to the 1970 US Census, there were only 3,871 calling Port Orange home.

With the second western extension of Dunlawton all the way out to Interstate 95, which occurred in 1978 with a price tag of $1.8 million, did Port Orange begin to blossom into the large metropolitan community that we know today. Planned by choice, not by chance Port Orange blends beauty and opportunity within its 28 square miles. From its tree-lined streets to its parks, this community is the pride of Volusia County. This family, which we call Port Orange, is made up of some 150 distinct "neighborhoods".
