Wilmington, founded in the 1730s, was developed as a shopping and market center
by the Quakers—followers of a religious movement established in England
by people who were discontented with the existing denominations and sects of Christianity.
As a result, Wilmington is now a city with deep-rooted historical importance.
Visitors find stately homes, gardens and factories throughout the area. Of specific
interest is the original du Pont family mansion at the Hagley
Museum, where the family first lived after emigrating from France in 1800,
and where their business in powder works was established. The museum also outlines
the du Pont family's contributions to the community, and the facility's library
examines business and technology in America with companies' records collections
ranging from 18th-century merchants to modern telecommunications businesses. The
Brandywine Valley surrounds Wilmington and offers many attractions, including
the Brandywine
Zoo.
