Kent County

Come to Kent County for history, incredible scenery, and culture in the “First State.” In Dover, our capital city, Colonial delegates were the first to ratify the United States Constitution. The central location of Dover makes it the perfect hub for all your Delaware vacation destinations. From capital city attractions to small Amish villages, Kent County has activities for everyone. Our contrast of old traditions and modern culture with coastal scenery and natural beauty make Delaware a fascinating vacation destination.

Early American history can be seen everywhere you look in Dover. Constitution Park displays a bronze sculpture with an inscription of the entire Constitution as it has evolved. One block from the park is The Green; there you can visit the tavern where the Constitution was ratified. The Christ Episcopal Church was built in 1734 and houses a monument to Caesar Rodney, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, in the church cemetery.

Kent County is also home to many migratory birds, which can be found in the Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge in Smyrna, north of Dover.
