New Smyrna Beach

History

New Smyrna Beach occupies a notable place in history as the second oldest city in Florida, the site of

the largest single attempt at British colonization in the New World.

First settled by Europeans in 1768, Dr. Andrew Turnbull, a Scottish physician, brought 1,400 indentured

servants from Greece and Italy to East Florida. He established the colony of New Smyrna, named after

the hometown of his wife. The majority of the colonists came from Menorca, one of the Mediterranean

Balearic Islands of Spain, and were of Catalan culture and language. Although the colony produced

relatively large amounts of processed indigo in its first few years of operation, it eventually collapsed

after suffering major losses due to insect-borne diseases and Indian raids, and growing tensions caused

by mistreatment of the colonists under Turnbull’s overseers. About 600 survivors marched nearly 70

miles north on Old King’s Road and relocated to St. Augustine, where they settled by 1777. Descendants

today can trace their names to the list on the statue of Father Pedro Campos that stands in the courtyard

of the Cathedral Basilica of St. Augustine. New Smyrna has been under the rule of four “flags”: the

British, Spanish, United States, and the Confederate Jack.

Museums

Mary S. Harrell Black Heritage Museum

314 N. Duss Street


386.478.1934

blackheritagemuseum.org



The Mary S. Harrell Black Heritage Museum, formerly known as

the Black Heritage Festival / Museum of New Smyrna Beach,

Inc., is one of a few of its kind in the State of Florida. It is

housed in the 19th century restored old Sacred Heart / St. Rita

building, built in 1899. The structure was once a place of worship

for a congregation of Black Roman Catholics. The Centennial

Celebration was held December 11, 1999, marking 100 years of

the building’s existence and the official opening of the museum.

A permanent exhibit, the Heritage House, also known as the

“shotgun house,” was later added and located just across the

street from the museum, with period furniture and accessories.

The museum is a non-profit organization dedicated to increasing awareness and appreciation for African

American culture and history. Emphasizing the contributions of its people, the museum preserves and

displays a collection of photos, oral histories, memorabilia and artifacts to educate citizens about the

history of race relations in small-town Florida over the course of the twentieth century. The photos

and oral histories speak of the hardships and triumphs of this African American community from the

early 1900s to the present. This museum is the cornerstone of the historic West Side community in

New Smyrna Beach, Florida and resides in the old Sacred Heart/St. Rita church building constructed

in 1899. The museum is open Wednesday through Saturday, 1 p.m. – 4 p.m. Admission is free, yet

donations are appreciated.

Founded in 1768, New Smyrna Beach is one of Florida’s oldest and most charming cities. Its unique

history is preserved and presented in the New Smyrna Museum of History. An engaging experience for all

ages, a visit to the museum is a must for visitors and residents alike. The focal point of the museum is an

exhibit devoted to the founders of New Smyrna, an intrepid group of indentured Mediterranean colonists

under the leadership of Scottish physician and diplomat, Dr. Andrew Turnbull. In addition to the New

Smyrna Settlement Exhibit, there’s an Interior Gallery, which gives chronological overview of area history,

starting with pre-historic Florida and continuing through 11 distinct periods. Upstairs at the museum is a

special exhibit of early St. John’s pottery, projectile points, and other artifacts collected by the late Zelia

Wilson Sweett, a noted local historian. Open Tuesday – Saturday, 10 a.m. – 4 p.m.

Whether it’s native American artifacts, England’s largest colonial plantation, railroad memorabilia,

or pictures of life 100 years ago, you’re sure to find exhibit items to satisfy your interests! Be sure to

allot at least an hour if you want to delve into the details of the exhibits offered here: The Attic, The

Centerpiece, The Perimeter Gallery, The Archaeology Lab, The North Room, The Upstairs and The

Museum of East Coast Surfing

Located within the NSB History Museum

386.478.0052

nsbhistory.org/exhibits-at-the-nsb-museum/#eastcoastsurfexhibit



The New Smyrna Beach Museum of East Coast Surfing, Inc. was founded

by a group of local surfers with more than 200 years of combined surfing

experience. The group revived the sport of surfing in the ‘60s and became

part of an evolution of the local surfing culture. This unique museum

houses fascinating and extensive displays of surfing memorabilia including

surfboards, surf art, movies, magazines, and historic photos. Anchored in

New Smyrna Beach, the museum is not far from the famous Ponce de Leon

Inlet, an area that draws surfers and pro surfers from around the world. It is

appropriate that New Smyrna Beach was named as one of the “Top 10 Surf

Towns” in 2009, and one of the best beach towns by National Geographic in

2009, Travel and Leisure Magazine in 2013 and Business Inside also in 2013.

The Museum is a non-profit 501(c)(3) tax exempt entity. The museum displays historical surfboards,

artifacts, art, water related films and photographs from the ‘50s through today, and includes presentations

featuring innovators, champions, surf contests and the surfboard industry. As the surfing phenomenon

continues to grow, the museum will preserve the rich heritage of East Coast surfing, including memorabilia,

permanent displays, surf films, recordings and oral histories. The museum is a unique destination for

visitors and attracts tourists from around the world.

Turtle Mound is a prehistoric

archaeological site located in the

Canaveral National Seashore.

Standing roughly 50 feet tall,

Turtle Mound is one of the largest

shell middens on the Florida

coast. The turtle-shaped mound

is made up predominantly of

oyster shells — the remains from

the prehistoric Timucuan people

who existed five to six centuries

before European contact. Visible

seven miles out at sea, early

sailors used Turtle Mound as a

navigational device. Turtle Mound

can be reached by hiking trails

that lead to the top of the ancient

shell middens and provides an

excellent view of the Atlantic

Ocean.

Monday – Sunday: 6 a.m. –

Before 1876, the area that

became known as the settlement

of Eldora was home to Native

Americans and few woodsmen

who lived off the land. In the

beginning stages, the community

of Eldora grew and developed

as an agricultural community

and was also a steamboat stop,

serving the east coast of Florida

before the arrival of the railroads.

The village then shifted from

industry to “gentleman’s farming”

where there were winter seasonal

homes for leisure pursuits. Today,

the Eldora statehouse (1913) is

the last remaining home from the

Eldora community and contains

memorabilia telling the story of

the town and its inhabitants.

Port Orange

History

Port Orange’s history is rich and unique. Starting with the prehistoric peoples of the land, namely the

Timucuan and Seminole Indians, and with Dr. Andrew Turnbull’s New Smyrna Colony in 1768 during

Florida’s plantation period, this area was full of explorers and efforts to tame this wild, unforgiving

environment.

In 1804, as an attempt to transform this area into a viable cash crop-producing land, Patrick Dean was

granted 995 acres from the Spanish Crown. The area was later named the Dunlawton Plantation. The

Dunlawton Sugar Mill is still standing today, despite being destroyed twice by Seminole Indians during

the Second Seminole Indian War of 1836.

Step back in time to experience the same pristine

environment that James N. Gamble (of Procter &

Gamble) found so inviting during his first visit in the

late 1800s. Included in the National Register of

Historic Places.

During the Second Seminole War in 1836, the

Mosquito Roarers — a company of Florida militia

under Major Benjamin Putnam — engaged a large

band of Seminoles pillaging Dunlawton, a sugar

plantation on the Halifax River. Heavy fighting

ensued, but the militiamen were unable to disperse

the Indians. Seminole raids eventually destroyed

the extensive system of sugar plantations on

Florida’s east coast and the sugar industry in this

area never recovered. Today, the 10-acre Sugar Mill

Botanical Gardens is a historical site as well as

botanical gardens.

Edgewater

History

The City of Edgewater was founded by Dr. John Hawks in 1871, and was originally called Hawks Park.

Hawks wanted to promote the small town as “A New England Village on the East Coast of Florida.”

In 1887, there were 41 houses, with citrus and beekeeping being the main industry in the area.

Steamboats shipped 11 tons of honey from Hawks Park in 1888.

On October 24, 1924, the Florida Legislature approved the incorporation of the Town of Edgewater. Over

the years, a general store, a post office, hospital, and crab meat factory were added.

Honey also continued to be an important commodity for the area. Founded in 1940, Tropical Blossom

Honey Company specialized in the gooey, luscious nectar, offering orange blossom, palmetto, wild and

citrus varieties. The City of Edgewater was incorporated in 1951, and city hall and a community building

were built by the late ‘50s.

Today, Edgewater offers quiet, tranquil riverside living, with over 150 acres of parks. There’s also a

thriving manufacturing base, business parks and industrial centers. Some of the most internationally

recognized boating manufacturers are based in Edgewater, including Boston Whaler, Brunswick,

EdgeWater Power Boats and Everglades. Adjacent to Edgewater’s ParkTowne Industrial Center, the

largest industrial park in Volusia County, is an airport that accommodates a residential fly-in community.

VISITNSBFL.COM 15

Oak Hill

History

The City of Oak Hill is the southernmost city in

Southeast Volusia County and is rich in early

Florida history. It was originally the site of a Native

American village called Surruque el Viejo near el

Baradero de Suroc, which was recorded on French

cartographer Jacque Lemoyne’s map of 1564.

Seasonal northern loggers may have first used the

name “Oak Hill” during the mid-1800s.

Settlers began to arrive by 1845, after Florida

became a state. Various Native American tribes

were displaced, including the Seminoles, who fought

back against losing their territory. One Seminole

raid in 1856 resulted in the deaths of four settlers.

Arad Sheldon, a resident, took the four bodies by

wagon to New Smyrna Beach.

By the start of the civil war, a salt work was

operating, part-time stores were open, and a man

named Mitchell had planted the first orange grove.

Following the war, settlers began arriving in the area

from many places. The local cemetery has eleven

Civil War veteran burials – five from the union and

six who served in the confederacy.

Hotels, stores, and a post office were also

established in the years following the war. A school

operated by Rev. Wicks in the Congregational

Church served a few white students in the morning

and several black students in the afternoon. A public

school for white students was constructed in the

early 1890s and a prominent black freedman, Bill

Williams, provided instruction and space for black

students in 1901. A public school for black students

was constructed in 1927.

The City of Oak Hill was first chartered in 1927.

Local government was based on a Mayor/

Commission with each commissioner functioning as

head of a municipal department. The city was later

disbanded in 1930. The country was in a depression

and the city petitioned the government to inactivate

the charter, which was granted. The city later

petitioned the government in 1962 to reactivate the

charter. Clarence Goodrich was the city’s mayor

from 1963 to 1989, spanning 26 years.

Business-wise, weather was a crucial factor in

area economics, as most people were either citrus

growers or commercial fisherman. Circumstances

have had a tremendous impact on these

occupations in recent years. Today, very few citizens

are involved with these jobs now. Most commute

between their Oak Hill home to New Smyrna or

Edgewater, to the Canaveral Seashore Park, or to

Kennedy Space Center.

The City of Oak Hill is valiantly working towards

improving its economic, environmental, and cultural

standing, while preserving the richness of its

history and heritage, so that residents can enjoy the

changes that progress brings in these new times

without losing the precious quality of days gone by.

Osteen

History

Originally known as Saulsville, the area was first named after homesteader George Sauls. Considered the

pioneer of the region, Saul, his wife and their children settled in the region around the 1850s. He served

as a confederate agent during the war, helping to protect women and children.

After the civil war, Saul remained a key player in the community, helping to open the first school and a

Baptist church. The Saul family members were close friends with another well-known local family, the

Osteens. Hezekiah Ellis Osteen, a cattle rancher, settled in the community in the 19th century. As the

railroad arrived in the area, Saulsville faded away, and the area became known as Osteen. Hezekiah served

as the town’s first sheriff, assessor, and tax collector. He also built a general store, Osteen and Sons.

In 1925, Pell’s Citrus and Nursery was started. The family operated company grows and ships a variety

of juicy oranges, grapefruits, and tangerines.

While it was once incorporated, Osteen is now an unincorporated community. Near the St. Johns River,

the area is known for its natural attractions. The 150-acre Hickory Bluff Preserve is made up of mesic

and scrubby flatwoods, oak hammock, cypress domes, floodplain swamp and wet prairie. The Beck

Ranch, a 250-acre park, was originally a working cattle ranch. Volusia County purchased the land to

preserve the historical structures and provide a multipurpose park for county residents and visitors to

enjoy. The park features huge live oak trees and Florida-friendly landscaping and still has the ranch’s

scale house, grain silo and slaughter house.
