Incorporated in 1995, Deltona is a planned community that was created in 1962 by the Mackle brothers who bought 17,203 acres and began development. Deltona was originally marketed to senior citizens looking for a warm place to retire and in the 1970 census the average age of a resident in Deltona was 62. However, with the building of nearby Disney World and other amusement parks, the marketing strategy changed and a housing boom occurred in the 1980s and 1990s and the average age of a resident in Deltona was 35.

Today, Deltona is still a growing community that offers many wonderful amenities close to home including golf, shopping, dining, and lodging.
