The City of Dover is located in Central Delaware in Kent County and is the capital of Delaware. Dover is approximately 90 miles south of Philadelphia, PA, and 90 miles east of Washington, DC. While its population is significantly less than that of Wilmington, Delaware, Dover encompasses a larger area than any other city on the Delmarva Peninsula. In contrast to most major cities in the Northeast United States, Dover is continuing to grow economically, in population, and in land area. The City has an estimated population of 34,120 and a total land area of approximately 26,000 acres.   Delaware has no sales tax, very low property taxes and about average income tax.

 

Today Dover is a thriving community.   Geographical 80% of the state is coastal plain and the piedmont covers the northern part of the state.   From Dover it is approximately a 35 minute drive to the Atlantic Ocean with 12+ plus miles of coastline and inland bays.    Residential, commercial, industrial and institutional development continues at a stable rate. Dover supports four school districts and five colleges.

 

Dover is also home to The Dover Air Force Base Dover AFB. It was the only base to solely operate the massive C-5 Galaxy, with two active flying squadrons which now operates the new Globe Master III Cargo Plane.    Dover AFB is also the home for the largest military mortuary in the Department of Defense, and has been used for processing military personnel killed in both war and peacetime; the remains of those killed overseas are traditionally brought to Dover before being transferred to family.
