General Information about Ellendale

Ellendale is a town in Sussex County, Delaware, United States. The estimated population was 344 for the 2005 census. Ellendale is the "Gateway to Delaware's Resort Beaches" because it is the city located on U.S. Highway 113 , the resort area's western most border, and Delaware Route 16 , the resort area's northern most border with the eastern border being the Delaware Bay and Atlantic Ocean and the southern border being the state line with Maryland.
Founded in the early 1800s and incorporated in 1905, it was first settled near the Morris Tavern Crossroads, near the current U.S. 113 and DE 16 intersection, by a handful of families. The city is named after the daughter of Whig Republican Alfred Short, a state legislator. Ellendale's current site was established in 1866 when the families moved east to settle around the Junction and Breakwater Railroad Depot.
