Port Orange Centennial Celebration

One hundred years ago, citizens of Port Orange voted to incorporate the small community into the Town of Port Orange. It became official on March 17, 1913. Over this century, Port Orange has grown in leaps and bounds with thousands of new families moving to the area to call Port Orange home. As the city continues to grow, it is important to look back on our heritage and renew the appreciation for this comfortable and beautiful community. Throughout this year, the City will host different events and offer programs to celebrate the community and its history.
