Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: ORC-PAI
ORMOND , a
village
  and winter resort of Volusia county, Florida, U.S.A., about 68 m. by rail S. of St
Augustine
 . It is situated on the
Halifax
  river, an arm of the Atlantic Ocean extending for 25 M. along the E.
coast
  of Florida. Pop. (1900) 595; (1905) 689; (191o) 780. It is served by the Florida
East
 
Coast
  Railway. The
Halifax
  river region is famous for its excellent oranges and grape-fruit. The hard and compact Ormond-Daytona
beach
 , about zoo ft. wide at low tide and about 20 M.
long
 , offers exceptional facilities for driving, motoring and bicycling; on it are held the annual tournaments of the Florida
East
  Coast Automobile Association. The old King's Road, built by the English between 1763 and 1783, from St Mary's, Georgia, some 400 M. to the
south
 , has been improved for automobiles between Ormond and Jacksonville. About 2 M. west of Ormond are the ruins of an old
sugar
  mill, probably dating from the last quarter of the 18th century and not, as is frequently said, from the Spanish occupation in the 16th century.. About 5 m.
south
  of Ormond and also on the Halifax river is another popular winter resort, Daytona (pop. 1900, 1690; 1905, 2199; 1910, 3182), founded in 1870 as Tomoka by Mathias Day of Mansfield,
Ohio
 , in whose honour it was renamed Daytona in 1871. Its streets and drives are shaded by live oaks, palmettos, hickories and magnolias.
