Delray Beach Designated All-America City

The All-America City Award is one of America's oldest community recognition awards.  Founded in 1949, the All-America City (AAC) Award annual competition honors ten communities of all sizes for extraordinary civic accomplishments made possible by the cooperative efforts of business, government, the voluntary sector, and individuals.

The City was recognized as an All-America City in 1993 and 2001. This makes Delray Beach the only Florida city to ever win the designation twice.

In 1993 the citizens were honored for their community neighborhood efforts, school improvement initiatives and the culture and arts complex.

The 2001 award honors the citizens of Delray Beach for their Community Neighbors Helping program, the Youth Enrichment Vocation program and the Village Academy.
