Description
Delaware canal in Delaware City. Boats belonging to the homeowners are docked along the canal. Delaware City originated in 1801. Plans for the town were drawn up in 1826, expecting that it would eventually become a Delaware River port and commercial center to become a rival to Philadelphia. In 1829 Delaware City became an operating base and a way station for important shipping activities because of Its location at the eastern terminal of the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal.
