Greenville: The DuPont Country of Northern New Castle County
Greenville is an unincorporated community northwest of Wilmington in the rolling chateau country along the Brandywine Creek. Beginning in the early 1800s, members of the du Pont family settled the hills above the creek and built a cluster of estates that eventually reshaped the region. E.I. du Pont founded his gunpowder works at Eleutherian Mills in 1802, and subsequent generations built Nemours, Longwood, Winterthur, and Granogue in the surrounding countryside. The family's concentrated wealth and land holdings have given Greenville a density of private estates, conservation easements, and cultural institutions unusual for a community of its size.
Winterthur Museum occupies the former country estate of Henry Francis du Pont and houses one of the most important collections of American decorative arts in the world, with roughly 90,000 objects spanning 1640 to 1860. Nemours Estate, the former home of Alfred I. du Pont, features a 105-room mansion and 300 acres of formal French gardens. Hagley Museum preserves the original powder works along the Brandywine and interprets the early chemical industry that built the du Pont fortune.
The commercial center of Greenville is the Powder Mill Square shopping complex along Kennett Pike, anchored by local restaurants, a hardware store, and specialty retail. The area functions as the social and commercial hub for much of northern New Castle County, including Centreville and Montchanin. Median household income in Greenville ranks among the highest in Delaware, a direct consequence of the du Pont legacy and subsequent corporate leadership in the DuPont company and its successors.
