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.
