The Timucuas were about exterminated past contact with Europeans through war, enslavement and disease and became extinct as a racial entity through assimilation and attrition during the 18th century. The Seminole Indians, descendants of Creek Indians from Georgia and Alabama, frequented the area prior to the Second Seminole War.

During the era of British rule of Florida between 1763 and 1783, the King's Road passed through present-solar day Daytona Beach. The road extended from Saint Augustine, the capital of East Florida, to Andrew Turnbull's experimental colony in New Smyrna. In 1804 Samuel Williams received a country grant of 3,000 acres (12 km²) from the Spanish Crown, which had regained Florida from the British subsequently the American Revolutionary War. This land grant encompassed the area that would become Daytona Embankment. Williams congenital a slave-labor-based plantation to grow cotton wool, rice and sugar cane. His son Samuel Hill Williams would abandon the plantation during the Second Seminole War, when the Seminoles burned information technology to the ground.

Vanderbilt ready an unofficial record of 92.307 mph (148.554 km/h).^[9] Land speed racers from Barney Oldfield to Henry Segrave to Malcolm Campbell would visit Daytona repeatedly and make the 23 mi (37 km) beach course famous.^[10] Record attempts, including numerous fatal endeavors such as Frank Lockhart (Stutz Black Hawk, 1928) and Lee Bible (Triplex Special, 1929), would continue until Campbell's March 7, 1935 attempt, which set the tape at 276.816 mph (445.492 km/h) and marked the end of Daytona's state speed racing days.^[11]
