The first Swedish settlement in North America, Fort Christina was located here. It is commemorated at it's original location at Fort Christina State Park a small riverside area in Wilmington.

Bob Marley the famous Reggae singer was once a resident of Wilmington and is commemorated every summer in July with a festival in the city.
