What is the smallest town in Delaware?

Answer 1

(1) "Farmington", Delaware is the smallest incorporated* town in the state (by population). The 2000 census reported 75 people. The land area is approximately one tenth of a square mile. (2) "Hartly", Delaware is the second smallest incorporated town with 78 people reported in the 2000 census. The land area is also approximately one tenth of a square mile. Both Farmington and Hartly are located in Kent County, DE. (3) "Henlopen Acres" is the third smallest incorporated area in the state with a population of 139 in 2000. Henlopen Acres is in Sussex County, DE. * NOTE: "Incorporated Areas" -- The towns above are the smallest incorporated areas (officially sovereign towns). There are other neighborhoods, areas, and place names that may be smaller, but they are not official "towns", "villages", or "cities". In Delaware, incorporated areas have their own municipal government with the power to create and enforce local laws. They also have specifically designated boundaries and elections for public offices. Some other powers of an incorporated area include: the power to tax and spend public money, the power to set future planning for the area, and the power to decide who will provide services for the town (e.g., police, public works). "Unincorporated Areas" are subject only to the laws of the state and county as they do not have the power to create or enforce their own local laws. Some unincorporated villages and neighborhoods have "homeowners associations", which have very limited power to set certain standards and enforce them (usually only aesthetic and maintenance standards). Law enforcement and public services in the unincorporated areas are provided only by the county and state.
