Seaford: The Nylon Capital of the World in Sussex County
Seaford earned its nickname "Nylon Capital of the World" in 1939, when DuPont opened its first commercial nylon production plant here along the Nanticoke River. The factory produced nylon yarn for stockings, parachutes, and industrial applications for decades. Although DuPont's presence has diminished, the legacy shaped the city's identity and economy for most of the 20th century. Today Seaford has a population of roughly 7,600 and serves as a regional center for western Sussex County.
The Nanticoke River, which flows through the center of town, is one of the least developed rivers on the Delmarva Peninsula. It drains into the Chesapeake Bay and supports a watershed that includes cypress swamps and tidal marshes downstream. The Seaford Museum documents the city's industrial and agricultural history. Governor Ross Mansion, a Victorian-era house museum on the banks of the river, is maintained by the Seaford Historical Society.
Agriculture remains a major part of the Seaford area economy, with poultry processing, grain farming, and vegetable production all significant. Perdue Farms and other poultry integrators operate facilities within the region. The Seaford School District serves the city, and the city government operates under a council-manager system. Route 13 connects Seaford to Laurel to the south and Bridgeville to the north.
