Magnolia, DE

Tucked just south of Dover in Kent County, Magnolia is a tiny, peaceful Delaware town with plenty of historic charm. Its most famous quirk is its shape: when founders incorporated the town in 1885, they mapped the borders as a perfect circle to symbolize brotherhood, a boundary that remains intact today. With around 300 residents, daily life here is quiet and slow-paced, making it popular for anyone looking for open space and a tight-knit feel while staying an easy drive from Dover Air Force Base, local shops, and the coast.
