Population
Here’s some cool information and fun facts about Dover, Delaware.
The Lenape People lived along the Delaware river long before the arrival of Dutch colonists in the mid-1600s. Willian Penn laid out the town in 1683, and when the Native Americans were forcibly moved out, settlers came to start a new community. Businesses sprang up with craftsmen and shop owners creating a city core, and by 1777, Dover became the capital of the state. The county became an agricultural hub, and with the arrival of the railroad, farmers could reach a much broader market. Dover grew and attracted larger manufacturers, putting the city on the map.
Today, the total population of this small American city is 38,166 people.
