Event Details
This presentation will explore Delaware Hundreds, a uniquely named feature found only in Delaware. Once used as election districts, Hundreds today have little impact on Delawareans.
In this presentation, Delaware Public Archives will go over the history of the Hundreds, how many there are, how they have changed, and why they are no longer prevalent in Delaware.
Each Hundred has a unique presentation with a brief history of that Hundred, along with historical photographs from across the Hundred.
Maria Myer presenting.

As the repository for records of Delaware state and local governments, the Delaware Public Archives contains thousands of documents and other materials that can help with researching one’s genealogical roots. Among these records are census materials, vital statistics including birth, death, and marriage records; tax assessments, probate/estate records, land deeds, and military records.
The Delaware Public Archives also preserves a large amount of genealogically related materials that were of private origin. These records include family histories, bible records, church records, manuscript genealogies, and newspapers.
