Delaware Ghost Towns

Delaware may be the nation’s smallest state but it holds a surprising number of forgotten communities. Former mill villages, colonial era settlements, and small agricultural towns that were bypassed by development now sit quietly along the state’s rivers and marshlands. Delaware’s ghost towns are intimately connected to the early industrial history of the Mid-Atlantic region.
