Wilmington

Among Delaware’s cities, Wilmington stands out for its setting at the meeting of the Christina River and Brandywine Creek. Delaware’s largest city developed as a port and industrial centre, while its Riverfront now occupies former working waterfront along the Christina. Wilmington is closely associated with the du Pont family and the industries that shaped the Brandywine Valley. Old Swedes Church, consecrated in 1699, recalls the Swedish colony established here in the 17th century; nearby Hagley Museum preserves part of the original DuPont powder works. Downtown’s compact streets bring offices, restaurants and theatres close to the river. Explore nearby webcam locations for complementary perspectives on Wilmington and northern Delaware.
