The scenic seaside city of New Smyrna Beach in Florida occupies a notable place in history as the site of the largest single attempt at colonial settlement in what is now the United States.
Dr. Andrew Turnbull, a Scottish physician and entrepreneur, obtained a land grant from the British Crown and in 1768 established a colony of 1,225 immigrants on the coastal plantations at New Smyna with a focus on the commercial production of such crops, as corn, indigo, rice, hemp and cotton.
Now you can visit a wonderful beach, go shopping and dine in this great part of FL.
