The name of Rehoboth Beach sounds like a name of a prophet or king straight out of the Old Testament. Actually, Rehoboth Beach is considered a Dream Town for retirees (according to the AARP magazine, a publication devoted to the welfare of people aged 50 and above). Despite its very small land area (measuring just around one square mile), many couples of retirement age are flocking to Rehoboth Beach in Delaware to either buy an existing house for their retirement years or have one built from scratch. At present, 38% of the population are over the age of 65 while the median age stands at 57. Even surrounding communities near Rehoboth Beach in the same state are experiencing heightened demand for real estate from retirees as well. In fact, Delaware planners predict that there will be 75% more retirees who are 65 years old and above who will relocate to the region within the next 25 years.

Ormond Beach used to be the territory of the Timucuan Indians prior to the arrival of settlers sent by Spanish King Ferdinand VII. After the US Civil War came and went, Ormond Beach was where wealthy families headed when they wanted to escape the harshness of northern winters. Eventually, at the turn of the 20th century, the first automobile races were initiated at the beach due to its hard compact sand surface that lent itself well to car racing. The race would start at south Ormond Beach and end at nearby Daytona Beach. (Up to now, car races are permitted on Ormond Beach to some degree.) The beach which faces the Atlantic Ocean acquired its name of Ormond Beach only in 1949.
