Executive Summary
Fort DuPont is undergoing a thoughtful redevelopment that will transform the 219-acre historic site into a vibrant waterfront community.
The fort, located along the Delaware River in Delaware City, was originally established in the 1860s as part of a coastal defense network protecting key Mid-Atlantic port cities, including Wilmington and Philadelphia. The site was expanded over time with military infrastructure and remained an active installation through World War II. Following its decommissioning in the mid-20th century, the property transitioned to state ownership and is now part of the Fort DuPont Historic District, offering a unique setting that blends historic character with long-term redevelopment potential.
Plans include new homes, shops, and gathering spaces while preserving and adapting many of the former military buildings that date back to the 19th century.
