About this city
Also known as: The Duck Creek Town
Smyrna is a historic and rapidly growing town located along the boundary of Kent and New Castle counties in central Delaware. Originally established in the late 18th century as a bustling agricultural and shipping port on Duck Creek, the town served as a vital hub for grain and lumber commerce during the early American shipping era. Today, Smyrna maintains an extensive historic district showcasing beautifully preserved Federal and Victorian architecture, combining a relaxed small-town historical atmosphere with modern residential expansion and proximity to the state capital.
