Henry Clay lies along Brandywine Creek in northern Delaware, where wooded stream banks and rolling ground form part of the Brandywine Valley near Wilmington and the Pennsylvania border. This small community stands in a landscape shaped by the creek's waterpower, which supported mills and industry long before the surrounding area became suburban. Nearby, Hagley Museum and Library preserves the former du Pont powder-yard complex on the Brandywine; E. I. du Pont founded the company here in 1802. Creekside roads and parkland give this corner of New Castle County a markedly different character from central Wilmington.
