New Castle County's website carries the tagline, "The first county in the fist state." One historic place which perhaps best encapsulates this significance is the County Courthouse Museum, a National Historic Landmark since 1972. It was built in three sections spanning more than a century, 1730-1845. It served as the Delaware State House during colonial times, the New Castle County Courthouse after the capital was moved to Dover, is richly intertwined with the history of the underground railroad ... it's significance is well reported and fills volumes.
