New Castle County, Delaware Economic Profile
County Seat: 601 North
French St, Wilmington, De 19801
County Homepage: http://www.nccde.org

Located in the northernmost portion of Delaware, New Castle County is halfway between New York City and Washington, D.C., and just 35 minutes from Philadelphia. With over 525,000 residents and 426 square miles of land, New Castle is the most densely populated, but smallest area, of Delaware's three counties. Residents hold tremendous pride in the fact that they live in the first county in America's first state. New Castle is also the only county in Delaware to be included in the Greater Philadelphia region. Low unemployment, tremendously low taxes (property, state and local) and plenty of entertainment options make it an enjoyable and affordable place to call home. Conveniently located along I-95, Wilmington, the county seat, is in northeastern New Castle County near Pennsylvania. With a population of 72,786 residents, it is the largest city in Delaware.
