Claymont Halal Travel Guide

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.

History

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 opened indemolition and replacement with apartments.

What is the Geography of Claymont

Unlike much of the rest of Delaware, Claymont is actually fairly hilly. Philadelphia Pike dips up and down numerous times. This elevation results in some pleasant views of the Delaware River and New Jersey, and is great if the starter on your vehicle is shot.

The major natural landmark in Claymont is the Delaware River. The river starts in New York, and by the time it reaches Delaware (Claymont is the first town it comes to), it is over a mile wide and a "broad, sluggish inlet of the sea." Soon after Claymont, it officially becomes the Delaware Bay south of Port Penn.

As indicated by its name and there is a lot of clay in the soil in Claymont. To find any, simply dig through the few inches of topsoil and you will almost probably hit Claymont clay.
