STATE OF DELAWARE
COUNTIES (PCDs)
(with county seats in
italics)
Kent- Dover
New Castle- Wilmington
Sussex- Georgetown
MINOR CIVIL DIVISIONS: Hundreds
[Note: DELAWARE's "hundreds" have no
associated governmental structure and are, thus, somewhat vestigial as a
secondary administrative unit below the level of the County; nevertheless,
they were- for a long time- the unit utilized as the jurisdiction of the lowest
courts in the State's judicial system and were the basis of the earliest
establishment of title to land and, thus, still have some residual effect as
Delaware's Minor Civil Division. All portions of the State-
including incorporated Municipalities- are part of at least one of these
"hundreds"]
