==History==
[[File:The Village Street, Ormond, FL.jpg|thumb|Village Street {{circa}}&nbsp;1908]]
The [[Timucua]]n town of '''[[Nocoroco]]''' was located where the [[Tomoka River]] joins the [[Halifax River]], just north of present-day Ormond Beach, when [[Álvaro Mexía]] passed through it in 1605 on a mission to establish relations between [[Spanish Florida]] and the [[Surruque]] and [[Ais people|Ais]] peoples of the coast of what are now Volusia and [[Brevard County, Florida|Brevard]] counties. Little is known of what happened to inhabitants of the area after Mexía's visit.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Hann |first=John H. |title=A History of the Timucua Indians and Missions |date=1996 |publisher=University Press of Florida |isbn=978-0-8130-1424-1 |location=Gainesville, Florida |pages=169–172}}</ref>

The city is named for James Ormond&nbsp;I, an Anglo-Irish-Scottish sea captain commissioned by King [[Ferdinand VII of Spain]] to bring [[Franciscan]] settlers to this part of Florida. Ormond had served [[United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland|Britain]] and Spain in the [[Napoleonic Wars]] as a ship captain, and was rewarded for his services to Spain by King Ferdinand&nbsp;VII. Ormond later worked for the [[Scottish Indian trade]] company of [[Panton, Leslie & Company]], and his armed brig was called the "Somerset". After returning to Spanish control, in 1821, Florida was acquired from Spain by the United States, but hostilities during the [[Second Seminole War]] delayed settlement until after 1842. In 1875, the community was founded as '''New Britain''' by inhabitants from [[New Britain, Connecticut]], but would be incorporated on April 22, 1880, as the '''Town of Ormond''' for its early plantation owner.<ref name=OBHi>{{Cite web|title=Geography & Travel - Ormond Beach Florida, United States|url=https://www.britannica.com/place/Ormond-Beach|website=[[Britannica]]}}</ref><ref name=OrBeHi>{{Cite web|title=Ormond Beach History|url=https://www.ormondbeach.org/DocumentCenter/View/206/Ormond-Beach-History?bidId=|website=ormondbeach.org}}</ref><ref name=OrmBeaHis>{{Cite web|title=Ormond Beach's first residents|url=http://www.ormondbeach.com/resources/history.html|website=ormondbeach.com}}</ref><ref name=OBH>{{Cite web|title=A Brief History of Ormond Beach|url=https://www.ormondhistory.org/history|website=ormondhistory.org}}</ref>

With its hard, white beach, Ormond became popular for the wealthy seeking relief from northern winters during the Floridian boom in tourism following the [[American Civil War|Civil War]]. The [[St. Johns and Halifax Railway]] arrived in 1886, and the first bridge across the [[Halifax River]] was built in 1887. John Anderson and James Downing Price opened the [[Ormond Hotel]] on January 1, 1888. [[Henry Flagler]] bought the hotel in 1890 and expanded it to accommodate 600 guests. It would be one in a series of [[Gilded Age]] hotels catering to passengers aboard his [[Florida East Coast Railway]], which had purchased the St. Johns & Halifax Railroad. Once a well-known landmark which was listed on the [[National Register of Historic Places]] in 1980, the hotel was razed in 1992.<ref name=OBHi/><ref name=OrBeHi/><ref>Ormond Beach Historical Society; https://www.ormondhistory.org/the-hotel-ormond</ref>

On December 5, 1896, the [[Nathan F. Cobb]], a wooden schooner built in 1890, ran aground on a sandbar off Ormond.<ref>{{cite web | title=Nathan F. Cobb Schooner 1890-1896 | website=wrecksite.eu| url=https://www.wrecksite.eu/wreck.aspx?201164 | access-date=24 November 2023}}</ref>

One of Flagler's guests at the Ormond Hotel was his former business partner at the [[Standard Oil Company]], [[John D. Rockefeller]]. He arrived in 1914 and after four seasons at the hotel bought an estate called [[The Casements]], that would be Rockefeller's winter home during the latter part of his life. Sold by his heirs in 1939, it was purchased by the city in 1973 and now serves as a cultural center. It is the community's best-known historical structure.<ref>{{Cite web |date=n.d. |title=The Jewel of Ormond Beach |url=http://www.thecasements.net/index.html# |access-date=2022-06-03 |website=The Casements}}</ref><ref>''Florida: A Guide to the Southern-Most State'', by Federal Writers' Project, page 342.</ref><ref>{{Cite news |date=1942-12-22 |title=Former Winter Home of Rockefeller in Suit |url=https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-knoxville-journal-former-winter-home/139050897/ |access-date=2024-01-18 |work=The Knoxville Journal |location=Knoxville, Tennessee |pages=9 |via=Newspapers.com}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |date=1940-12-19 |title=Palm Beach Notes |url=https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-palm-beach-post-palm-beach-notes/139050495/ |access-date=2024-01-18 |work=The Palm Beach Post |location=Florida |pages=11 |via=Newspapers.com}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last= |first= |date=2013-10-21 |title=Gazebo dedication at Casements kicks off year-long celebration |url=https://www.ormondbeachobserver.com/article/gazebo-dedication-casements-kicks-year-long-celebration |access-date=2022-05-30 |website=Ormond Beach Observer}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=n.d. |title=History of the House and The Guild |url=http://www.thecasements.net/house.html |access-date=2022-05-30 |website=The Casements}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/local/volusia/orl-casements-rockefeller-mansion-051409,0,4609528.story|title = Top Orlando News, Weather, Sports, Entertainment}}</ref>

Beginning in 1902, some of the first [[automobile]] races were held on the compacted sand from Ormond south to [[Daytona Beach, Florida|Daytona Beach]]. Pioneers in the industry, including [[Ransom Olds]] with his [[Oldsmobile Curved Dash#Oldsmobile Pirate Beach Racer|Pirate Racer]], and [[Alexander Winton]], tested their inventions. The [[American Automobile Association]] brought timing equipment in 1903 and the area acquired the nickname the "Birthplace of Speed."<ref name="Birthplace of Speed"/><ref name=BoS>[http://www.birthplaceofspeed2003.com/beginning.htm Beginning] birthplaceofspeed2003.com {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070613031556/http://www.birthplaceofspeed2003.com/beginning.htm |date=June 13, 2007 }} ''birthplaceofspeed2003.com''</ref><ref name=LoS/> In 1907, [[Glenn Curtiss]] set an unofficial world record of {{convert|136.36|mph|km/h}}, on a {{convert|40|hp|kW|abbr=on|adj=on}} 269 cu in (4,410 cc) [[Curtiss V-8 motorcycle]].
