Williamsburg

Williamsburg occupies low, level ground on Delaware’s coastal plain in the northern part of the state. The area belongs to the Delaware River watershed, with tidal lowlands and small creeks draining east toward Delaware Bay. Agriculture and dispersed settlements still shape much of this section of Delaware, while major road links connect it with larger towns and regional ports. The wider corridor has long been important for transport between the Delaware River and Chesapeake Bay; the Chesapeake & Delaware Canal, opened in 1829, remains a notable feat of regional engineering.
