Welcome to DeLand

The energetic city of DeLand is located between the eastern shore of the St. Johns River and the hills of Central Florida. This unique community boasts nature-filled activities, community events, and a walkable downtown area full of unique shopping and fine-dining restaurants. The year-round pleasant weather compliments these features and allows residents to embrace nature.

DeLand's fascinating history began in 1876 when its founder Henry Addison DeLand stumbled upon the area during a family vacation in Florida. DeLand was struck by the beauty and serenity of what was to become DeLand and purchased it on the spot. Afterward, he made it his mission to create a town based on education and culture, which is precisely what DeLand did.

Also opened in 1876 was Stetson University, which is the oldest private college and the first law school in Florida. Centered in the middle of the downtown area, the university mixes old Florida with the excitement and culture of entertainment and boutique local businesses of today. An array of architectural styles gives the city an eclectic vibe, from the Mediterranean and Second Empire buildings of Stetson University to the Craftsman and Cottage-style residential properties.

DeLand’s proximity to major cities like Daytona and Orlando gives locals additional options for weekend getaways to explore attractions and Florida beaches. However, DeLand has an endless number of diverse events, which keep locals busy throughout the year. This makes the area perfect for individuals who appreciate history, a tight-knit community, and vintage Florida living at its finest.
