Welcome to the Newto News for March of 2024. My name is Zack Cockfield, and my team and I created Newtomedia as a way for visitors or new residents to get information about a city. Each month we bring together resources that will update you on the history, amenities, culture, future opportunities and all other things inside a city that make it unique. We also hope to be a resource for connecting you with people and businesses that can help you live a better life. If you find our efforts useful, please click on the links to get more information!

Wilmington, Delaware, founded in 1638 by Swedish and Finnish settlers, has a rich history as one of the oldest cities in the United States. Originally named “Willington” after the Earl of Wilmington, the city quickly grew as a bustling port town on the Delaware River. In the 19th century, Wilmington became a major industrial hub, with the DuPont Company establishing its headquarters there in 1802, and the city grew rapidly with the development of the railroads and shipping industries. During the Civil War, Wilmington played a crucial role as a key supply center for the Union Army. After the war, the city continued to thrive as a center of industry, commerce, and culture. Today, Wilmington is known for its vibrant arts scene, historic architecture, and financial services sector. The city’s rich history and diverse population make it a unique and dynamic place to live and visit.
