The untouched beaches and tranquil waterways make Flagler County a Florida treasure. Nestled midway between world famous Daytona Beach and historic St. Augustine, the nation’s oldest city, Flagler County is bordered on the east by 19 miles of untouched beaches on the Atlantic Ocean. Flagler’s Exit 284 on Interstate 95 is the closest exit to the beach from Maine to Miami.
It is fondly spoken of as the Quiet Side of Florida, with reminiscence of “old Florida”. The story of Flagler is one that is deeply embedded in American History. The area, established as Flagler County in 1917, survived the Seminole Wars and Civil War. The County was named for Henry Morrison Flagler, railroad tycoon and developer of Florida’s East Coast.
