Henry A. DeLand established the community of Lake Helen in 1883, naming the area for his daughter. Now a designated national historic district, this quaint town of stately homes nestled along tree-shaded streets offers true Southern charm. The close proximity of Interstate 4 adds to the convenience of life in Lake Helen, which is known for superb bass fishing in a number of surrounding lakes. The well-known exercise equipment of Nautilus was first developed and manufactured in this area, although Pyramax Studios now occupies the former site. Those who appreciate the arts and culture can enjoy the Shoestring Theater, an active Lake Helen community theater that produces an entire season of plays. Throughout western Volusia County, newcomers will discover a wealth of natural and urban amenities, from open-air concerts in the exciting City of Deland to the recreational wonderland of De Leon Springs State Park and St. Johns River country.
