| For more than 100 years, Delray Beach
has grown and prospered. A small group of Michigan
settlers, led by William Linton and David Swinton
began settling in the area in 1894. Inspired by
the natural riches of the area, they tilled the
land and grew crops year round. The environment
also provided them with plenty of fresh fish, crab
and lobster from the ocean. In 1901 the area was
named Delray, a Spanish derivative meaning “of
the king”. When the railroad system built
by Henry Flagler expanded from West Palm Beach to
Miami, farmers began exporting their harvest of
pineapples, tomatoes, peppers, beans and other fruits
and vegetables. By 1925 the town was booming with
tourist trade and a healthy, self-supporting economy.
The same is true today. The very reasons people
came to in 1894 are the same reasons Delray Beach
is such a nice place to live and grow today.
With a population of 60,020, according to the
2000 census, Delray Beach has grown from a farming
community into a bustling city known for its unique
architecture and thriving downtown. New developments
