SEAFORD is situated on the Delaware railroad, sixteen miles from Georgetown, six miles from Laurel, and six miles from Bridge- ville. The surrounding country is level and partly cleared. Peaches, grain and small fruits are the principal crops.
The town is on the north bank of the Nan- ticoke river, a large navigable tributary of the Chesapeake, of sufficient depth to admit ves- sels of heavy draught, and a valuable feeder for the commercial interests of the town. To its position on navigable waters, Seaford owes the presence of its most cansiderable manu- facturing industry, that of oyster packing, which is carried on here on an extensive scale, six firms being engaged in the business, em- ploying considerably over two hundred hands, and sending yearly many thousands of cans to all portions of the United States, and even to foreign countries. Two phosphate manu- factories, two canneries and ship yeards are among its other industries. Seaford has five churches, the Methodist Episcopal, Methodist Protestant, Episcopal and African Methodist Episcopal. There is a good public school. The town has a population of about 2,000.
