Delray is a community of people working together to create the best possible living environment for themselves and their fellow citizens. In 1989 Delray Beach described itself as, “A South Florida renaissance city; a humanistic revival of culture, literature and enthusiasm; an economic revival building on the past for a sound and prosperous future - a city set apart in South Florida.”

On this base citizens and City Commissions have developed a vision for our future which continues to focus the efforts of city government. Delray Beach will be a “Charming Village by the Sea” with a Great World Class Beach, a Vibrant Downtown and a Community of Quality Neighborhoods and Schools. Recreational and Cultural Opportunities Abound. People Embrace Cultural Diversity. The city government provides Exceptional City Services.
