 Though unincorporated, it was first represented by the North Peninsula Zoning Commission, created in 1955.For many years, one of Ormond-by-the-Sea's most distinguishing landmarks was the Ormond Pier, a steel structure constructed in 1959 near the intersection of Laurie Drive and A1A.A large section of the Ormond Pier was torn away by a storm in November 1984, and the remaining portions subsequently demolished for safety reasons in the early 1990s.
