Geocache Description:


Kenton was in desperate need of a cache, this little town is full of history! Take a little walk in the municipal park to find this cache, and if you're feeling up to it, do a little CITO on the way.

The Village of Kenton is a crossroads community located at the intersection of Route 42 and Route 300 in Kenton Hundred, Delaware. The village dates from the last decade of the 18th century, but did not achieve its peak until the last half of the 19th century when the Delaware and Maryland Railroad line was put through from Clayton to Maryland.

Kenton was first laid out in 1796 by Philip Lewis who had begun to acquire property in the area five years before in 1791. The community was first known as Georgetown, then as Lewis Crossroads and finally, in 1806, by the name of Kenton.

This is a Dawn to Dusk cache. Please replace container exactly as found.
