St. Georges, DE

St. Georges is a small, quiet community in New Castle County, sitting right along the banks of the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal. Home to around 1,500 residents, it has a relaxed feel shaped by centuries of local history. Settled in the early 1700s, the village was split in two when the canal was dug in the 1820s, creating distinct north and south sides that are now connected by major regional bridges.

Local students are part of the Colonial School District, with older kids heading to William Penn High School in nearby New Castle. Residents enjoy spending time outdoors along the canal paths and taking in the well-preserved colonial architecture throughout the historic district. When you need groceries, dining, or a daily commute, quick connections to Route 1 and Route 13 make it easy to reach larger hubs like Middletown and Wilmington in minutes.
