Discover the rich history of the West Settlers Historic District, Delray Beach’s first African-American settlement established in 1894.

African Americans from north and west Florida, Georgia and South Carolina were the first non-Native Americans in the area, laying the foundation of a strong agricultural economy in the region. The community was self-sufficient and settlers utilized local materials and their own construction knowledge.

Isaiah Bruin, one of the community’s earliest builders, constructed many residences along NW 3rd and 4th Avenues, including the Susan Williams House, which is now located at the S.D. Spady Cultural Complex on NW 5th Avenue. The La France Hotel (1949), located at 140 NW 4th Avenue, was once the only hotel in Delray Beach that welcomed African-Americans during segregation.

To learn more about the rich history of this area, we invite you to visit the Spady Cultural Heritage Museum at 170 NW 5th Ave in Delray Beach.
