Ormond Beach is known as the "Birthplace of Speed".  It  was a popular spot for those who liked fast cars after the turn of the 20th century.  The hard-packed beach was ideal for going fast. That same beach had led to the development of a tourist resort by Henry Flagler. It later attracted Flagler's former business partner John D. Rockefeller, who had a winter home in Ormond.  

Today, Ormond Beach is home to almost 40,000 people. The largest sectors of the economy lie with retail and healthcare, but trade and manufacturing are important, with science and technology a growing part of the economy.  The Ormond Beach Airport Business Park and Airpark are within a free trade zone.
