"The Rocks" Delaware


Back on March 14, I mentioned that while Joseph Haslet was Delaware's governor and the British were threatening, an encampment was established at "The Rocks."  I know about "The Rocks" at Wilmington, NC, but not this one.  I did further research.

A strong fortification named Fort Union was built at the "Rocks" which was the site of old Fort Christina.

North America Forts site describes it as a militia fort.

There is a Class A Carolina League team based  in Wilmington, Delaware, called the Blue Rocks, named for the blue granite stone found along the Brandywine River in the Wilmington area.
