We are proud of our small town with big city amenities. The City of Dover is located in central Delaware in Kent County  and is the capital of Delaware – approximately 90 miles south of Philadelphia, PA and 90 miles east of Washington DC. While our population is a little over half of that of Wilmington, DE, Dover encompasses a larger area than any other city on the Delmarva Peninsula.

Dover is home to the  Dover Air Force Base. Home to the C-5 Galaxy and C-17 Globemaster III aircraft, the Eagle Wing flies hundreds of missions throughout the world and provides 25 percent of the Nation's strategic airlift capability, projecting global reach to over 100 countries around the globe. Dover AFB operates the largest and busiest air freight terminal in the Department of Defense and is also home to the Air Mobility Command Museum, which welcomes thousands of visitors each year. The Charles C. Carson Center for Mortuary Affairs is the Department of Defense’s largest joint-service mortuary facility and the only one located in the continental United States.

Dover is also proud to be home to the  Dover Motor Speedway, the Dover Mall and numerous specialty stores located in our downtown. Dover is also home to many historic buildings, museums, parks and the John W. Pitts Recreation Center.

Our office is equipped with caring, dedicated staff. It is important to us that you feel as though your questions are being answered, you are being understood and that you take as much pride in Dover as we do. We are located inside City Hall at 15 Loockerman Plaza (next to the library).
