Colonial New Castle Once Center
OF State Govt. and Communications

New Castle, the &C olonia |
Capital of the First State" was
a place of importance in early
America as a communication
center. as we'll as, the seat of
government and justice for the
South River Oelaware).
1t was not a mere trading
post, but from its founding in
1851 by the Dutch was a per-
manent settlement to which COL
onists came in increasing num-
bers over the years. 1t was one
of the chief ports of entry in
America until we'll into the last
century.
Trade in slaves and tobacco
flourished under the early Dutch
rule. One of the nations first
important roads, begun in 1877,
was that known as "the old
mans road" Augustine Her
mans cartroad from his Bohem-
la Manor estate on the Eastern
Shore of Maryland to the Della
ware plantations of his sons.

Legion Auxiliary
Installs Everhart

Initiation of new members
and election of officers were
featured at the meeting of the
Auxiliary to the David c. Harri-
son Post No. IA, American Le-
gion, Monday night. Mrs. George
Scout was the initiating officer
and participating in the cere-
mony were Mrs. Davis Turner,
president; Mrs. Catherine Bail
ey; Mrs. Helen Grier; Mrs. JOS
eph Behrens, and Mrs. Howard
Deakyne. Officers elected were
Mrs. Edward Everhart, presi-
dent; Mrs. Helen Grier, vice
president; Mrs. Howard Now
land, secretary; Mrs. James j.
Rogers, treasurer; Mrs. Howard
Deakyne, chaplain; Mrs. James
Davidson, historian; Mrs. Clar-
ence S. Collins, Jr., sergeant-at-
arms. Mrs. Turner and Mrs.
Lloyd Pleasanton were co-chair-
men for the Easter Lily drive
which realized $91.30 for the
aid of crippled children. Mrs.
James Rogers is chairman of a
rummage sale to be held May
6-7 in the store next to the
Smyrna Market on North Main
Smyrna times., 1960-05-12

This was later superseded by
the more direct route of the
New Castle and Frenchtown
Md.) Turnpike, the western
terminus of which was on the
Elk River, connecting the Della
ware and Chesapeake water
ways. This route became the
chief means of east-west and
north-south travel in the early
days of the Republic when the
nations capitol was moved to
Washington. In the early 1800s
this was the most heavily trav-
eled road in America.
Ships from foreign ports,
those engaged in coast-wise
trade and most ships clearing
for overseas put in at New Cas-
tie. In addition, a fleet of pack
ct boats operated between Phil
adelphia and New Castle. The
trip from this port was made
across the Peninsula by stage
to Frenchtown where passeng-
ers transferred to ships again.

Extra-tough soldiers who must

Paratroopers are being assigned

A pair of paratrooper-generals

flict.
Major Generals Raymond l..

1t was in that day the gatewa,
to the south and west.
When sail gave way to steam
ships, the stage coach was re
placed by the railroad. The
turnpike built in 1918 was aug
mented by the New Castle anc
Frenchtown r. R. 1t commenc
ed operation in 1881. Horse
power was used until Septem
Der 10, 1882, when an English
locomotive was imported anC
took over the horses task. Ar
earlier American-made locomo
tive had proved a failure. Later
h wever, locomotives were
made in the company's owr
shops at New Castle. In 1882 9
ticket Office was built and this
tiny structure still stands where
a recreated section of track
near the original eastern term
mus is located.
Eventually the all-rail route
around the head of the Chesa-
peake, the Philadelphia, Wilm'
ington and Baltimore Railroad
proved too much competition
for the part rail and water
route, and what had become a
very successful operation with
every prospect of becoming a
permanent link in a great trans
portation route between the
north and south on the Allan
tic seaboard, was forced to sell
its controlling interest in 1887
to the successful competitor.
The New Castle & Frenchtown
R. R. was dismantled in 1858.
The New Castle of those days
was the landing place of many
European immigrants in the
New World. For more than 100
years it was an important port
of entry and t h Gus a n d S of
Scotch-Irish caught their first
glimpse of America at New Cas-
tie. Many arrived as bound"
persons for a number of years
to pay the cost of passage.
One of these was Charles
Thompson, who arrived at the
New Castle docks in l740, at
the age of 10, an orphan. With
the tutoring of Reverend Fran
els Alison, founder of what is
the present University of Della
ware, he rose to prominence.
Thompson served as secretary
of the Stamp Act and Continen-
tai Congresses and was the man
appointed to inform General
Washington of his election to
the presidency of these United
States. He is also largely cred
tied with the design for the seal
of the United States.
Nor was New Castle a one
way port. In 1918 it was from
the dock at the foot of Packet
Alley that the ship Neptune sail
ed with Gallatin and Bayard for
St. Petersburg to meet with the
Russian Car who had offered
to help negotiate a peace treaty
between America and Britain.
1t was during the period be-
ginning in the early zoos and
extending through the first four
decades of the last century that
New Castle attained its greatest
Importance and prosperity and
this is reflected in the architec-
ture of this period. The old part
of the town contains many not
able examples of the art of the
early builders. In fact, in such
an unaltered state of condition,
as to render it unique among
modern day small American
cities.
New Castle may very we'll
still be called the gateway to
the south and west" The Della
ware Memorial Bridge that spans
the broad river, just above the
town, and which. replaced a
well-known ferryboat system in
1851, just 300 years after New
Castles founding, is linked with
the town by a direct alternate
route of u. S. No. 40.
The annual DAY in Old New
Castle will take place this year
on the 21st of May. The pro.

ceeds of the entire tour, $3.50,
is used for the restoration and
preservation of church buildings
in New Castle.
