Delray Beach is a
city in
Palm Beach County,
Florida,
USA. As of the
2000 census, the city had a total population of 60,020. As of

For
more than 100 years, Delray Beach has grown and prospered. A small
group of Michigan settlers, led by William Linton and David Swinton
began settling in the area in 1894. Inspired by the natural riches of
the area, they tilled the land and grew crops year round. The
environment also provided them with plenty of fresh fish, crab and
lobster from the ocean.
