Laurel

Laurel straddles Broad Creek in southern Delaware, a position that made the town a transport and trading point for the surrounding agricultural country. The creek runs into the Nanticoke River, linking this small community with the waterways of the Chesapeake Bay watershed. Established in 1799, Laurel developed around river commerce and later rail connections; its historic district preserves streetscapes that reflect that growth. Today, local shops, civic life and annual community events give the town centre an active small-town character.
