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, was originally inhabited by the Lenape Native American tribe before European settlers arrived in the early 17th century. The city was established in 1638 by Swedish and Finnish immigrants, making it one of the oldest European settlements in the United States. Wilmington thrived as a trading and manufacturing hub during the colonial era and became known for its shipbuilding industry. It played a significant role in the American Revolution, serving as a key port for the Continental Army. In the 19th century, Wilmington experienced a period of industrial growth, with the development of iron, steel, and chemical industries. The city became an important center for the DuPont Company, one of the largest chemical companies in the world. Today, Wilmington is a diverse and vibrant city with a rich history and culture. It is home to a thriving arts scene, historic landmarks, and a strong business community.
