Here's an overview of the history of New Smyrna Beach: Early Indigenous Inhabitants: The area around New Smyrna Beach was originally inhabited by Native American tribes, including the Timucua people. They lived in the region for thousands of years before the arrival of European explorers. Spanish Settlement: In 1768, Dr. Andrew Turnbull, a Scottish physician and entrepreneur, established the colony of New Smyrna. He brought a group of about 1,400 settlers, mostly from the Mediterranean region, to the area. The colony was intended to grow indigo, rice, and other crops. However, the settlement faced numerous hardships, including disease, starvation, and conflicts with Native Americans, leading many settlers to abandon the colony.
