Bay County, Florida is a Panama City, FL-based company in the Government sector.
Our mission is to provide responsive and fiscally responsible services for health, safety and quality of life for our citizens. We value to be a community rich with resources and opportunities today and for generations to come. More than 550,000 people call Volusia County home. Situated on the east coast of Central Florida, our 47 miles of Atlantic Ocean beaches are a world-class playground, with beachfront cities including Daytona Beach, Ormond Beach and New Smyrna Beach. Water sports are plentiful, but Volusia`s oceanfront communities are most famous for land sports. Early automotive pioneers such as Louis Chevrolet and Henry Ford enjoyed their leisure time in the sun and found that the hard-packed sand, gentle slope and wide expanse of Volusia`s beach was the perfect proving ground for early auto racing. Ormond Beach, in fact, is known as the "Birthplace of Speed." The racing tradition continues today at Daytona International Speedway, one of the world`s finest racing facilities and the home of the world-famous Daytona 500, an event larger than the Super Bowl. The scenic St. Johns River, famed for its bass fishing, links magnificent parks with wildlife preserves along the county`s western border. True southern charm can be found in DeLand, the county seat. This unique city features an award-winning downtown filled with antique shops and quaint restaurants, surrounded by stately historic homes and buildings. Volusia County is about an hour`s drive north of Disney World and the Kennedy Space Center. It`s also within a few hours` drive of other major Florida communities, such as Tampa (140 miles), Miami (250 miles), or Jacksonville (90 miles).

The name “Gowanda” is derived from the Seneca Indian phrase meaning “a valley among the hills” or “under the cliffs,” referring to the village’s location below the Zoar Valley gorge along Cattaraugus Creek. Occupied by various Indian tribes before the American Revolution, the westward movement of our growing nation brought the first settlers here from New England early in the 19th century. What is now Gowanda was settled in 1810 by Turner Aldrich, who bought 707 acres on both sides of the creek from the Holland Land Company. He cleared the land, built a cabin, a sawmill and a gristmill. The settlement was called Aldrich’s Mills until 1823 when the name was changed to Lodi. The village was incorporated as Gowanda in 1848. Ahaz Allen settled next in 1812, erecting a cabin above Aldrich’s in what is now called Hidi. The first white child born here was his daughter, Caroline, in 1813. The next year he dug a race, dammed the creek, and built a sawmill. Allen built the first frame house here in 1815 on what is now Beech Street. It burned and was torn down in 1970. Those who followed these pioneers to this beautiful valley have each left their mark, large or small, in its streets, buildings, factories, businesses and institutions. The history of Gowanda is charted through fire and flood, economic boom or bust, immigration and migration, and the inevitable march of time.
