The landscape around Wilson is gently rolling at the transition between northern Delaware’s Piedmont and lower coastal plain, a setting that has shaped patterns of settlement and farming. This small New Castle County community lies south of Newark in the White Clay Creek watershed; the creek joins the Christina River before its waters reach the Delaware River. The University of Delaware in nearby Newark is a major regional institution, adding a campus presence to an area of residential neighborhoods, roads and remaining open land. Close by, Cooch’s Bridge Historic Site commemorates the 1777 Battle of Cooch’s Bridge during the American Revolution.
