A Description from New Castle on the Delaware, by Jeanette Eckman of the New Castle Historical Society, c. 1951:
The town's enchantment is compounded of seemliness and taste, of completeness and a sense of authentic continuity with the past without loss of its living and livable quality. The broad Green - where ancient elms and a level sward of grass set off in in proportion some mellow examples of the builders' art - and the few streets of old houses immediately beyond the edges of the Green form a whole that can be comprehended almost at a glance. Yet this whole provides so extensive and spacious a range of interest that its effect is to widen mental and physical horizons, not to narrow them. Like the pages of an absorbing book, the streets are filled with the record and the materials of history, adventure, romance; of political, economic, and social drama, all in a language human and simple, yet dignified and impressive.
