Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use mdy dates Шаблон:Infobox settlement Hares Corner is an unincorporated community in New Castle County, Delaware, United States. Hares Corner is located at the intersection of U.S. Route 13/U.S. Route 40 and Delaware Route 273, west of New Castle and immediately south of Wilmington Airport.[1]

History

The community was once a stagecoach stop and a cattle market.[2] Hares Corner was home to the Green Tree Inn, which was demolished in 1931 to allow US 13 to be widened to a divided highway.[3]

The Hares Corner post office operated from 1863 to 1891.[4] According to historian Harvey Cochran Bounds, the 1890 opening of the post office at nearby Farnhurst "had more than a little to do" with the closure of the Hares Corner post office.[5] In 1890, Hares Corner's population was 50.[6] In the 1920s, Hares Corner was the site of fox hunting; these events were hosted by the Hares Corner Community Club.[7]
