Brandywine Hundred, Administrative subdivision in Delaware, US
Brandywine Hundred is a hundred, a type of administrative district, located north and northeast of Wilmington in Delaware. It borders Pennsylvania to the north and is bounded to the west by Brandywine Creek.
The district was established in 1682 as one of the first hundreds in Delaware and took its name from Brandywine Creek. Over the centuries, it sent representatives to the Delaware General Assembly, playing a steady role in local governance.
The area is home to a mix of residential streets, shopping centers, and public parks that give it a suburban feel typical of northern Delaware. Local libraries and community centers serve as meeting points where people gather for everyday activities.
The district sits just north of Wilmington and is easy to reach by road, with several major highways passing through or nearby. A car is the most practical option for getting around, as public transit coverage is limited in many parts of the area.
Ebright Azimuth, the highest point in Delaware at around 450 feet (137 meters) above sea level, sits quietly in a residential neighborhood near the northern edge of the district. Most people drive past it without noticing, as it looks like an ordinary street corner with a small marker.
