The Daytona Beach area was home to the Timucuan Indians, who lived in fortified villages. Their population was almost completely wiped out by European contact, disease, and enslavement. By the 18th century, Timucuan tribes were nearly extinct. The Seminole Indians, descendants of Creek Indians from Georgia, also lived in the area.
