Golf in Seaford

Seaford is a working city in western Sussex County on the Nanticoke River, a community whose economic identity was defined for much of the twentieth century by the DuPont nylon plant—the first commercial nylon production facility in the world, opened in 1939—and whose post-industrial transition has shaped the community's contemporary character. The Nanticoke River gives Seaford a waterway connection to the Chesapeake Bay watershed, and the working-class and industrial heritage of the city distinguishes it from the resort communities that dominate the public image of Sussex County. Hooper's Landing Golf Course serves the recreational golf community of a city whose identity remains rooted in the manufacturing and agricultural traditions of western Delaware.
