Community Spotlight: New Smyrna Beach, Florida

By
Real Estate Agent with Gitta Sells & Associates at Keller Williams Heritage Realty BK516647

New Smyrna Beach occupies a notable place in history as the site of the largest single attempt at colonial settlement in what is now the United States. Dr. Andrew Turnbull, a Scottish physician and entrepreneur, obtained a grant of land from the British Crown. In 1768 he established a colony of 1225 immigrants on the coastal plantations at New Smyrna, with a view toward the commercial production of such crops as corn, indigo, rice, hemp, and cotton.

My family and I rented a condo for several weeks this past summer.  What a beautiful, laid back place to be.
