Dover, DE Real Estate

The city of Dover is the capital and second largest city [1] in the U.S. state of Delaware. It is also the county seat of Kent County, and the principal city of the Kent County Metropolitan Statistical Area which encompasses all of Kent County. It is located on the St. Jones River in the Delaware River coastal plain. It was named by William Penn for Dover in England. According to 2006 Census Bureau estimates, the population of the city is 34,288. [1]

Dover was founded as the court town for newly established Kent County in 1683 by William Penn, the Proprietor of the territory generally known as the " Lower Counties on the Delaware." Later, in 1717, the city was officially laid out by a special commission of the Delaware General Assembly. The capital of the state of Delaware was moved here from New Castle in 1777 due to its central location and relative safety from British raiders on the Delaware River. The city's central square, known as The Green, was the location of many rallies, troop reviews, and other patriotic events. To this day, The Green remains the heart of Dover's historic district and is the location of the Delaware Supreme Court and the Kent County Courthouse.
