Located on the northern shore of the soothing St. Johns River, near Lake Monroe, is the delightful Florida town of DeBary; named for its founder, Samuel Frederick deBary, a wealthy wine merchant, who in 1871 bought 400 acres to build a hunting lodge called "DeBary Hall." The 8,000-square-foot, 20-room Italianate mansion played host to such guests as Presidents Ulysses S. Grant and Grover Cleveland. DeBary Hall is now an historic site that is open to the public for touring.

Ideally located in southwestern Volusia County, DeBary has direct access to Interstate 4 and U. S. Highway 17-92 and is sited between Orlando and Daytona Beach.

While the beaches of Daytona and the thrill of the Orlando amusement parks are nearby, DeBary is a growing town that gives residents many dining and shopping selections.
