Wilmington is Delaware’s largest city and a corporate capital out of proportion to its size: a majority of the Fortune 500 are incorporated in Delaware, and the Court of Chancery and the city’s law firms handle many of the country’s most significant business disputes. Banking and credit card companies have major operations here, and the city’s long association with the DuPont company is visible in its office buildings, museums and the grand estates of the Brandywine Valley. Healthcare, chemicals and life sciences round out the economy.

Wilmington sits on the busy I-95 corridor between Philadelphia and Baltimore, and Philadelphia International is the nearest airline airport. Wilmington Airport, just south of the city, is a far quieter option for private flights, convenient for attorneys arriving for a Chancery hearing, executives visiting corporate offices and families exploring the Brandywine Valley. Visitors come for Winterthur, Hagley and Nemours, Longwood Gardens just over the Pennsylvania line, the Wilmington Riverfront and the Hotel du Pont.
