About Felton

Felton is a quiet Kent County community located halfway between Dover and Milford. Originally established around the Delaware Railroad in the 1850s, the town keeps its classic heritage alive through preserved Victorian homes, quiet side streets, and a walkable Main Street. Residents enjoy a peaceful, countryside atmosphere while staying only a 15-minute drive from Dover's major shopping centers, restaurants, and employers.

Local children attend the Lake Forest School District, and weekend recreation is easy with Killens Pond State Park practically next door, offering shaded hiking trails, boat rentals, and a popular water park. With Delaware's southern beaches roughly 45 minutes down the road, Felton is a solid choice for anyone seeking affordable small-town living with simple access to the rest of the state.
