About National Register Listings
The National Register of Historic Places is the official list of the Nation’s historic places worthy of preservation.

Delaware was the first state to ratify the U.S. Constitution, and as a result, the state played an important role in the early history of the United States. In the early years of the country, Delaware was known for its thriving shipping industry, and the District of Delaware was an important port for goods coming in and out of the state.
