Not naturally. The climate is too cold for them to thrive here. However, there have been reports of 3-5 gators picked up in areas around in Delaware. The most recent one was from a retention pond north of Dover in March of 2012. It was between 3 and 4 feet long, and was transferred to an alligator rehabber in Maryland. My guess is that either they escaped owners, or they got too big and the owners released them.
