Port Orange, a palm-shaded community on Florida's Atlantic coast, provides residents and visitors with balmy ocean breezes, friendly neighbors, and all the conveniences of a modern city. But it is Port Orange's unique and diverse heritage, composed of challenges and accomplishments, extraordinary events and daily living, that has given the city a proud character all its own.

The book, in images and detailed captions, tells the stories of the city's prominent residents and families, as well as landmark businesses and institutions that have played an integral part in the unfolding history of Port Orange. From the Timucuan Indians and pioneering settlers to Dunlawton Sugar Mill and the auto racing industry, this pictorial retrospective tells the community's own special tale
Autorenporträt
In Port Orange, authors Harold D. Cardwell Sr. and Priscilla D. Cardwell have gathered a wide variety of visual documents, from early sketches and maps to vintage photographs and postcards, that powerfully illustrate the singular history of the region. Drawn from the archives of the Port Orange Historical Trust, the Halifax Historical Museum, the Florida State Archives, and numerous collections belonging to longtime residents, these striking images capture not only the fascinating natural history of the region from prehistoric times to the present day, but the determined spirit of those who have made Port Orange their home.
