Stones Throw

Few communities in Delaware have a history as closely tied to the 1777 Battle of Cooch’s Bridge as Stones Throw. This small locality lies south of Newark in New Castle County, in country shaped by the Christina River basin and the nearby Chesapeake & Delaware Canal. The Battle of Cooch’s Bridge formed part of the British campaign that led to the capture of Philadelphia during the American Revolution, and the Cooch’s Bridge Historic Site commemorates the event nearby. Today, the area sits within northern Delaware’s settled corridor, where older roads and former farmland meet suburban communities.
