Deltona Florida Information

Deltona is located in Volusia County just north of Orlando between Orlando and Daytona Beach along Interstate 4 near Lake Monroe. Deltona is part of the Daytona Beach, Florida metro area.

The first inhabitants of southwest Volusia County were Nomadic Timucuans who found fish and fresh water plentiful in the area. After Florida became a state in 1845, steamboats began to make regular trips up the St. Johns River to Lake Monroe.

The residents of the unincorporated Deltona community voted in September 1995, to incorporate as the new City of Deltona. The third attempt seemed to be Deltona's lucky charm; two previous incorporation attempts in 1987 and 1990 failed. A seven-member Commission was elected and as of December 31, 1995, the City of Deltona became officially incorporated.
