Wilmington, Delaware, the gem of the Brandywine Creek Valley, serves not as the capital of Delaware but rather as its largest and most prestigious city. The town was named after the Earl of Wilmington, a Prime Minister in the government of England’s George II. Wilmington is at heart a confluence of Mid-Atlantic and New England traditions. The city supports a number of great parks, including the Alapocas Woods Natural Area and Rockford Park. You can also tour the Brandywine Zoo (great for families!) or spend time hiking around the Nemours Mansion and Garden. Don’t forget to stop by the Grand Opera House and Delaware Center for Contemporary Art to explore the best cultural traditions that Delaware has to offer. The city of Wilmington plays host to a number of universities, colleges, and technical schools. Drexel University and the University of Delaware are perhaps the two best-known institutions in the city. Wilmington is also the home base for Joe Biden, one of the longest serving Democratic public officials and a very colorful figure in Delaware’s political history.
