Delaware City

Delaware City has served as a canal port on the Delaware River in northern Delaware since the 1820s. The town developed beside the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal, the waterway linking the Delaware River with Chesapeake Bay and an enduring part of regional shipping routes. Across the river stands Fort Delaware on Pea Patch Island, a Union fort that held Confederate prisoners during the Civil War and is now a state park. Delaware City’s compact waterfront and older streets retain the scale of its canal-era origins.
