History

Originally a planned residential community called "Deltona Lakes," the city has since grown to become larger than many of its Volusia County neighbors, and is in fact the county's largest city by population. Many people who work in Orlando or Daytona Beach live in Deltona.

The city continued to grow during the 2010s, and during this decade a movie theater, a satellite Bethune-Cookman University campus, and a Halifax Health emergency department facility were opened in Deltona.

Climate

Deltona has a semi-tropical climate, with precipitation highest during the summer, as is common for cities in Central Florida.

By train

  • 🌍 DeBary SunRail Station (SunRail), Charles Richard Beall Blvd and Ft Florida Rd, Deltona Fl. Northern terminus for Sunrail and nearest to DeLand and Deltona. Nearest connection to the Amtrak Silver Meteor and Silver Star is in DeLand (16 mi (26 km) north) and to the Amtrak Auto Train in Sanford (6 mi (9.7 km) south). Same station/cross platform transfers with Amtrak are only in Winter Park, Orlando Health and Kissimmee.

See

  • 🌍 Green Springs, 994 Enterprise/Osteen Rd. The springs are just north of Lake Monroe, which is nearly within view. The springs are a component of the underground marine cave below the Florida Peninsula's surface. The springs are green and stink of sulfur, but the manner in which the trees reach above the spring is an interesting sight. The lake is well below the viewing points surrounding it, and it is fenced off. Signs warn against diving into the spring. Free.
