Delray Beach Real Estate
Delray Beach has a rich history and its own Historical Society dedicated to it. In the 1920’s, seasonal visitors started a winter colony in Delray and the nearby town Gulf Stream. During the 1920’s, Delray became known for its artists and authors. For four years of World War II, citizens of Delray Beach volunteered to watch the beach and ocean 24 hours a day from the faux bell tower atop the seaside Seacrest Hotel. Nearby, military personnel patrolled the beach on horseback. (Delray Beach Historical Society).
