About Port Penn
Port Penn is a quiet historic village sitting right along the Delaware River, just south of the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal in New Castle County. Established in the 1760s, it traded its busy shipping days for a relaxed, slow-paced lifestyle surrounded by scenic wetlands and water views. Today, residents enjoy a tight-knit community feel, classic Delaware architecture, and plenty of open space, all while staying within an easy drive of Middletown and Wilmington.
