New Smyrna Beach Car Accident Attorneys

Recognized by National Geographic Magazine as one of the world's top 20 surf towns, it's easy to see what the city of New Smyrna Beach is best known for. The star attraction in New Smyrna is its 13 mile stretch of white sandy beaches. Sunbathing, swimming, bicycling, treasure hunting, strolling or doing nothing at all is the choice of most visitors - but the beach is also well known to surfers, offering some of the finest wave action on the Eastern Seaboard.

New Smyrna Beach also holds the distinction of being the second oldest city in Florida. The town was settled in 1768 after Dr. Andrew Turnbull, a Scottish physician and entrepreneur, obtained a land grant from the British Crown and brought with him 1,500 European immigrants and declared New Smyrna as Britain's 14th Crown Colony. The town was the largest British colonization attempt in the New World, nearly three times larger than the first settlement at Jamestown in 1607.

Today, the town offers visitors many historical legends and artifacts as witness to its rich history. In fact, more than 30 historical sites continue to intrigue visitors and Volusia County residents alike. These sites include the Sugar Mill ruins, found in both New Smyrna Beach and nearby Port Orange, The Old Fort and surrounding Old Fort Park, the Eldora House in The Canaveral National Seashore, and the New Smyrna Museum of History.
