BIOGRAPHIICAL ENCYCLOPEDIA
LEWES is the most important town in Sussex county. It is situated on Lewes river, one-half mile from the shore of Delaware bay, and about three miles from the Delaware Breakwater harbor and from Cape Heulopen, the point of demarkation between the waters of the bay and the Atlantic Ocean. The town is a progressive one. Its prosperity is largely due to its admirable situation as regards rail- road and marine facilities. The Del., Md. & Va. railroad, terminating at Rehoboth, a few miles further south, passes through Lewes and affords connection with all the railroad lines in the state, while its position of being the only scaport in the state, and the only port of entry outside of Wilmington, gives it every natural advantage requisite to becoming a great com- mercial city. The farming land of the section is in excellent condition. The character of the soil is loam with a clay subsoil. Peaches, grain, and small fruits are raised in abund- ance. Lewes has a population of about 2,000 inhabitants. Among the chief boasts of the town is its public school system, which is con- solidated in one building under a principal and six assistants, and is under the control of the Lewes Board of Education, an incorpor- ated body. The school building is a handsome edifice, and in general excellence the institu- tion yields to none outside of Wilmington. The Breakwater, the great feature of the place, is an immense pile of granite erected by the United States Government to break the force of the waves, and make one safe harbor in a stretch of over three hundred miles of otherwise inaccessible coast, which after a storm is often strewn with wrecks of coasting schooners and other vessels. A light house is situated at Cape Henlopen and another on the Breakwater. A canal, from Delaware Bay to the frontage of Lewes, commences at Chinco- teague and empties into the Delaware Bay. The town has five churches, three white and two African: Protestant Episcopal; Methodist Episcopal.
