“Colonial, Dutch, Early American”
About This Location
New Castle is one of the best-preserved Colonial-era towns in the United States—a former Dutch and British colonial capital where the original 1651 town plan survives intact, with 17th and 18th-century brick row houses, Georgian public buildings, and a green that has been the civic center since Peter Stuyvesant first laid it out. The Delaware Film Office promotes New Castle for its extraordinary Colonial atmosphere: the original courthouse, a Presbyterian church from 1707, Federal-period row housing, and a working Delaware River waterfront that reads as authentic 18th-century port infrastructure. The town's compact scale—the entire historic district is walkable—makes production logistics manageable while the density of period architecture provides multiple simultaneous setup options.
