Ormond Beach, Florida

Front Cover
Early Ormond Beach history centers around the
three men pictured on the front cover. The
Anderson-Price Memorial Building was named in
memory of John Anderson and Joseph Price,
prominent Ormond residents. The settlement, then
called New Britain Colony, became known as Ormond
(1880) in memory of James Ormond I who received
a Spanish land grant in 1816 north of today’s
Tomoka State Park.

Rear Cover
Pictured on the rear cover is J. Donald Bostrom
giving a lecture at the Three Chimney’s Sugar Mill,
the oldest recorded sugar mill in North America. Also
pictured is an image of John Andrew Bostrom, Don’s
grandfather, the first settler of Ormond on the
peninsula in Halifax Country (Volusia County).
