Ardentown may be a small village, but it has a rich history, a vibrant sense of community, and a peaceful residential character that makes it one of northern Delaware’s most unique places to live. When life takes an unexpected turn due to an accident, residents of this close-knit village deserve reliable legal representation close to home. That’s why The Sharma Law Firm proudly serves Ardentown from our North Wilmington office — just minutes away.
Ardentown was founded in 1922 by Donald Stephens, the son of Frank Stephens, who founded the neighboring village of Arden. Donald envisioned Ardentown as an outgrowth of Arden, rooted in the forward-thinking ideals of Henry George’s Single Tax movement and the creative spirit of William Morris’s Arts and Crafts principles. These philosophies emphasized fairness in land use and the value of craftsmanship, shaping the village into a socially conscious and artistically inspired community.
Like its neighbor Arden, Ardentown was designed to promote a simpler, more equitable lifestyle. This history remains visible today in the village’s architecture, layout, and sense of independence. Despite its small size — just 0.2 square miles — Ardentown has a distinctive identity and charm that continues to attract residents seeking a quiet yet connected place to call home.
Ardentown sits in New Castle County, Delaware, just north of Wilmington and close to the Pennsylvania border. Its coordinates are 39°48′30″N 75°28′59″W, and the village consists entirely of land, with no major waterways. Although it has no state highways running directly through it, Delaware Route 3 (Marsh Road) passes just west of the village, providing convenient access to Wilmington to the south and Delaware Route 92 toward Claymont to the north.
To the southwest, Harvey Road connects Ardentown to Interstate 95, offering quick access to Wilmington, Philadelphia, and the broader Mid-Atlantic region. Public transportation is also available through DART First State’s Route 11 bus service, which links the village to the Wilmington Amtrak and SEPTA Regional Rail station, making commuting easier for residents.
Ardentown may be small in area — only 0.2 square miles — but it has a proud and diverse community. According to the 2010 Census, the population was 264 residents. Historically, the village’s population has remained modest, with slight fluctuations: 307 residents in 1980, 325 in 1990, 300 in 2000, and 255 by 2020.
The community is a mix of families, artists, professionals, and retirees. The median age is 48, reflecting a mature population with deep local roots. About 48.5% of households are married couples, and nearly 31% are single-person households, many of which are retirees enjoying the quiet, tree-lined streets of the village. The median household income is around $64,286, and the median family income is about $72,500, signaling a stable and comfortable community.
Families in Ardentown are served by the Brandywine School District, one of northern Delaware’s most established public school systems. The majority of the village is zoned to:
Forwood Elementary School
Talley Middle School
Mount Pleasant High School
Some portions of the village are zoned slightly differently, with areas attending Lancashire Elementary or Concord High School. Previously, Ardentown was part of the Mount Pleasant School District before district restructuring integrated it into the Brandywine School District. This access to quality schools is one reason families appreciate living in the area.
Ardentown is well-connected when it comes to essential services. Delmarva Power provides electricity and natural gas, while Suez Delaware supplies water. Sewer service is managed by New Castle County, and residents have trash and recycling collection through Waste Management. These reliable utilities, combined with convenient access to Wilmington and major highways, make Ardentown a peaceful but well-supported place to live.
Although Ardentown is quiet and residential, accidents can still happen here — especially given its proximity to major roads such as Marsh Road (DE 3), Harvey Road, and I-95. Residents may face risks from:
Car Accidents – Especially when commuting along Marsh Road or entering/exiting I-95.
Pedestrian or Bicycle Accidents – On smaller village roads or near connecting routes with limited sidewalks.
Slip and Fall Incidents – At local businesses, community spaces, or nearby shopping centers.
Workplace Injuries – Affecting those who work in Wilmington, Claymont, or along the busy commercial corridors nearby.
