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]
