Gwinhurst is an unincorporated community in New Castle County, Delaware, United States.[1] in Philadelphia-Camden-Wilmington Metropolitan Statistical Area.[2]
Location[edit]
Gwinhurst lies five miles northeast of Wilmington[3] in the Brandywine Hundred and is located between Claymont and the incorporated town of Bellefonte. Perkins Run, Delaware River tributary, lies at it's northern end; other borders are shared with the similar neighborhoods Silverside Heights, Holly Oak, and Hillendale. Public services are mainly provided by New Castle County. Gwinhurst is within the Brandywine School District.
History[edit]
Gwinhurst was first planned in 1919.[4] Soon after, the first buildings at Gwinhurst were six bungalows built on speculation. Lot size at Gwinhurst was 20 by 100 feet, but deed restrictions set by the seller demanded houses have no less than 40 feet of frontage thus requiring buyers to purchase at least two lots to build.[5]
As of 2012 there were 432 residential properties and a population of 1200 in the community.[6]
