Seaford

Seaford occupies the banks of the tidal Nanticoke River in southern Delaware. The river is part of a watershed that reaches Chesapeake Bay through Tangier Sound, placing the city firmly within the low-lying landscapes of the Delmarva Peninsula. Seaford developed as a river community in Sussex County, while its 20th-century identity was strongly shaped by DuPont’s nylon manufacturing operation; that connection earned it the long-used nickname “Nylon Capital of the World.” The Nanticoke remains central to local life, linking town with the region’s waterways and maritime heritage.
