History

Established in 1856 as a whistle stop along the Delaware Railroad, Felton was named after Samuel M. Felton Sr., then-president of the Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore Railroad. As president, he was responsible for developing the Railroad in Delaware’s rural areas, and by extension, the town’s existence. Felton was incorporated on February 2, 1861, and passenger rail service would continue to the town until the early 1950s.
