You’ll Never Want To Leave This Charming, Authentic Neighborhood in Delaware
A big part of what makes America wonderful is its diversity. Our country was founded by immigrants and enhanced by immigration throughout its history. Four million Italians immigrated to the United States in the years between 1880 and 1924 – escaping crushing poverty. Some settled in Wilmington, Delaware, where there is still a large Italian-American population. This history and heritage is celebrated in the charming, authentic Little Italy neighborhood.
Many of the people who live here are second and third-generation Italian-American families. It's a close-knit community.
This mural was a collaboration between Fierro Cheese, the Little Italy Neighborhood Association, and the Delaware Center for Horticulture.
Find it at the corner of Howell and Scott Streets.
It was built in 1924 and is located at West 9th and North Dupont.
