About Delray beach
History
The Delray Beach area was originally home to the Jaega (Jeaga) people before settlers established farming communities in the late 1800s. Early industries centered on pineapple cultivation, citrus groves, and vegetable farming, supported by the arrival of Henry Flagler's Florida East Coast Railway. Incorporated in 1911, Delray Beach gradually transformed from an agricultural town into one of Florida's most vibrant coastal destinations, celebrated today for its thriving downtown, arts scene, beautiful beaches, and walkable lifestyle.
