The town was named after Mathias Day of Mansfield, Ohio, an investor and newspaper publisher who bought 2,144 acres in 1871, founding the community. In 1872, his property was foreclosed but the name remained. The Rev. Dr. L.D. Houston was elected as the first Mayor at this meeting. 1880 Ballough purchased 152 acres on the peninsula, divided his homestead into lots, and platted it was “East Daytona”. 1886 Requiring a railroad adequate to serve a great hotel he built in St. Augustine, Henry M. Flagler bought the first transportation link in a chain of railroad and hotel properties he built down the East Coast to Key West. 1888 Ballough built a beach cottage at the end of Ocean Boulevard (now Seabreeze Boulevard). The cottage was later enlarged and named “The Clarendon”. Spring 1985 Ballough forms a partnership with Mr. and Mrs. C.C. Post in the development of the town thereafter named “Seabreeze”. The Posts own a casino with a 1,200 foot pier on the south side of The Clarendon in addition to the Breakers Hotel on the north. Clarendon Hotel, Breakers Resort, Daytona Beach, Florida, circa 1900.

Silver Springs was Florida's first big tourist attraction, and welcomed such prominent 19th century writers as Harriet Beecher Stowe, William Cullen Bryant, and Sidney Lanier.4 Even today, Silver Springs plays host to hundreds of thousands of visitors each year.

That list included 217.6 miles of critical erosion and another 114.8 miles of noncritical erosion statewide.

During that year, they officially resolved to collectively be known as Ormond Beach. The oldest portion of the city hall complex was the Bank of Ormond, which failed in 1929. An annex to enlarge the city hall space was dedicated in January of 1964. (Walk south 125 feet on Beach St.) 2 West side of Beach St., between Granada Blvd. and Tomoka Ave. 0.0 (42 N. Beach St.) Anderson-Price Memorial Library Sixteen citizens organized the Village Improvement Association on January 9, 1891. They rented a cottage in 1893 on Lincoln Ave. as their headquarters and a free public library. In 1905, they bought John Brink's building, formerly used as a furniture store, located on this lot. In about 1912, the club sold the Brink building and a lot on New Britain Ave. donated by Margaret Howe, and with the proceeds built the present structure. In 1957, the association was renamed the Ormond Beach Woman's Club. The library organized and maintained by the club was donated to the new Ormond Public Library in 1969.

The erosion problem areas are classified as either critical or non-critical and county maps and tables are provided to depict the areas designated critically and non-critically eroded. Many areas have significant historic or contemporary erosion conditions, yet the erosion processes do not currently threaten public or private interests. These areas are therefore designated as non-critically eroded areas and require close monitoring in case conditions become critical.
