About Townsend, DE

On April 3, 1885 the town incorporated. Its primary business was selling agricultural produce via the Delaware Railroad. The railroad has since lost prominence over freight hauling, but the town still remains primarily agricultural with plenty of rural area and local produce. The town has since created a "Comprehensive Development Plan", as required by state law February 2003, for land preservation. The Townsend Historic District, which includes 216 buildings, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.
