About location

Laurel has served as a commercial center in southern Delaware since the mid-19th century. The town grew beside Broad Creek, a Nanticoke River tributary that once connected local farms and timber operations with Chesapeake Bay trade. Rail service arrived in 1856, reinforcing Laurel’s role as a shipping point for the surrounding agricultural district. Today, U.S. Route 13 forms a busy commercial spine east of the older town center, while Broad Creek remains a reminder of Laurel’s connection to regional waterways. Laurel lies on the low inland plain of Sussex County, within the Nanticoke watershed.

Delaware
Region Delaware

Built around settlements and commerce on the Delaware River, Delaware grew into a compact Mid-Atlantic state. Its northern edge meets the river and Delaware Bay, while the south, including Sussex County near these coordinates, opens toward Atlantic beaches, salt marshes and low-lying farmland. Dover is the state capital; Wilmington, on the Christina River, is Delaware’s largest city and a long-standing industrial centre. Delaware was the first state to ratify the U.S. Constitution, on 7 December 1787, a distinction reflected in its “First State” nickname. Cape Henlopen, Lewes and Rehoboth Beach underline the importance of the coast to local life.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
