Welcome to the Newto News for March of 2025. My name is Zack Cockfield, and my team and I created Newtomedia as a way for visitors or new residents to get information about a city. Each month we bring together resources that will update you on the history, amenities, culture, future opportunities and all other things inside a city that make it unique. We also hope to be a resource for connecting you with people and businesses that can help you live a better life. If you find our efforts useful, please click on the links to get more information!

Daytona Beach, located on the east coast of Florida, has a rich history dating back to the early 16th century when Spanish explorers first arrived in the area. The city was officially founded in 1876 and quickly became known for its beautiful beaches and mild climate. In the early 20th century, Daytona Beach gained notoriety as a popular tourist destination and was dubbed the “World’s Most Famous Beach.” The city also became known for its role in the development of auto racing, with the first automobile race taking place on the hard-packed sand in 1902. Throughout the years, Daytona Beach has continued to grow and evolve, with the construction of the iconic Daytona International Speedway in 1959 and the establishment of several colleges and universities in the area. Today, Daytona Beach remains a popular destination for tourists and is home to a vibrant community that celebrates its history and natural beauty.
