Kent County Markers

GEOGRAPHIC CENTER OF DELAWARE


In the vicinity of this marker, a Flat Outline Map of the State



would be exactly balanced.



In 1989, a curious seventh grader from the Caesar Rodney School District asked where the center of Delaware was located. With the help of his teacher and the Kent County Department of Planning, it was determined that the geographic center of the state was located approximately eleven miles south of Dover in the field just south of this marker, on the Killen Farm.

LOCATION: Felton - South side of Rt. 12, approximately 1.2 miles east of the intersection of Rt. 13 and Rt. 12.

The Delaware Public Archives operates a historical markers program as part of its mandate. Markers are placed at historically significant locations and sites across the state. For more information on this program, please contact Moira Conlan at (302) 744-5035
