Dover, DE apartments for rent

Situated on the picturesque St. Jones River in the coastal plain of the Delaware River is Dover, the capital of Delaware. Named after Dover, Kent, a town in England, the name is derived from an early word for water. William Penn, the proprietor of the territory that included modern-day Dover, established the area in the early 18th century.

A few buildings date back to the city's early days, including the Bradford-Loockerman House, the John Bullen House, the Delaware Governor's Mansion, and homes in the Victorian Dover Historic District. These structures, plus additional ones located in the city, are on the National Register of Historic Places.

As one of the fastest-growing cities in Delaware, Dover has nearly 40,000 residents. The city's largest employer is the state government, while other major employers include Dover Air Force Base, Kraft Foods, and Procter & Gamble.

The city is known for hosting NASCAR races at the Dover Motor Speedway each spring, which can draw thousands of spectators. The speedway's nearby woodlands also serve as the venue for the Firefly Music Festival every summer. Delaware State University, the state's only historically black university, is located in Dover, along with the Delaware State University Downtown campus.

With its unique cultural makeup and historical influences, Dover is a fascinating city to explore.
