Mount Pleasant

Mount Pleasant straddles the upper Appoquinimink River watershed in northern Delaware, where the flat Atlantic Coastal Plain has long supported a dispersed agricultural settlement pattern. This small New Castle County locality lies inland from Delaware Bay, between Middletown and the Chesapeake & Delaware Canal corridor. Its best-known historic landmark is Mount Pleasant, a brick house built around 1800 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, recalling the area’s early rural architecture. Local roads connect the community with Middletown while retaining its countryside character.
