Delaire is a suburban community in New Castle County, Delaware, United States. [1]
Delaire is located on a hilltop overlooking the Delaware River northeast of Bellefonte [2] between U.S. Route 13 Business (Philadelphia Pike) and U.S. Route 13. [3] It abuts Bellevue State Park and Stoney Creek. [4] [5]
Delaire was developed in the 1940s from the subdivision of 61 acres (25 ha) of the Volpe Tract, former site of the Bellevue Gun Club. [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] In 1980 it was described as being typical of the Brandywine Hundred: "solid, all masonry, all middle-class, mostly white-collar, and mostly Republican". [3]
