Historic Village. At the dawn of the 20th century, the E.I. DuPont deNemours Company selected this area for dynamite manufacturing. The company laid train tracks, built a wharf on the nearby Sound's natural deep water port, and built a beautiful company town to house its workers. In time, the factory closed but the DuPont Historic Village is now on the National Register of Historic Places. Today, DuPont's Historic Village is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It is the only former company town to have most of its original homes preserved with historic integrity intact.

DuPont continues to grow, but will never grow beyond the boundaries of nature and the governmental land surrounding it, thus keeping it isolated from urban overgrowth in nearby towns.
