census-designated place in Delaware, United States
About Claymont
Claymont is at the far eastern part of northern Delaware, a few miles and minutes from the Pennsylvania border. It largely lies between I-95 and the Delaware River, and is bisected length-wise by U.S. Route 13, more commonly known as the Philadelphia Pike. Claymont was first settled by the Dutch in the 1600s. Route 13 was constructed in the early 20th Century, and Claymont began to grow around it, with the more distant areas still being occupied by farmland. The Worth Steel Mill was opened in 1916. Most of the suburbs were built following the Second World War. Today, Claymont is struggling to remake itself. A large section of project housing has been emptied and is scheduled for demolition and replacement with apartments. Unlike much of the rest of Delaware, Claymont is fairly hilly. Phi
