"The Hundred" hundred is an historical or geographical term rather than a functioning administrative unit. In Delaware the hundreds are now used primarily for property descriptions in real estate transactions or for historical reference, not for governing.
One of the original hundreds created in 1682; named for the Appoquinimink Creek. Blackbird Hundred was split off in 1875. Lies south of the Appoquinimink Creek between the Maryland border and the Delaware River.
