Brief History of Daytona Beach “The World’s Most Famous Beach”
The land and surrounding territories that now make up Daytona Beach was first populated by the Timucua Native Americans who lived in the area until contact with European contact and white settlers led to their extinction due to a combination of disease, slavery, and warfare. In 1870, Daytona Beach was first founded and later incorporated as a city on July 26, 1876. The city’s namesake is after its founder, Ohio businessman Matthias D. Day, who would build the city’s first hotel called the Palmetto House after a delivery error meant the house was initially roofed with palmetto fronds.
In the early 1900s, the hard-packed sands of its beaches were discovered to be ideal for the growing sport of motor vehicle testing and racing, in fact, the beaches of Daytona were used by early inventors to test their designs for the first airplanes. By the 1920s, Daytona Beach earned a national reputation as “the World’s Most Famous Beach” and in 1959, the Daytona International Speedway was erected by Bill France, where it hosts the Daytona 500 racing event to this day.
In modern times, Daytona Beach attracts millions of visitors to its shores annually, either to visit the city’s beaches, attend a racing event or to view the city’s many cultural landmarks including:
- The Tarragona Tower
- The Daytona Beach Coquina Clock Tower
- The Daytona Beach Bandshell
- The Mary McLeod Bethune Home & Gravesite
- The Ponce Inlet Lighthouse
Many of Daytona’s historical sights and architecture of Daytona Beach form the key inspiration for unique challenge coins designs either incorporating the landmarks into the surface of the design or capturing its aesthetic as part of the overall design. Organizations located in Daytona Beach who most commonly request challenge coins include the city’s law enforcement organizations, First Responders, larger businesses, and even its universities.
