Dartmouth Woods is a small place in Delaware, United States. It's called an "unincorporated community." This means it's a group of homes and businesses that isn't officially a town or city with its own local government. Instead, it's part of the larger New Castle County, which helps manage things like roads and services.

Where is Dartmouth Woods Located?

Dartmouth Woods is found in the northern part of Delaware. It's located in New Castle County, which is the most northern county in the state. You can find it just east of a road called Ebright Road. It's also very close to the border with the state of Pennsylvania.

What Does "Unincorporated" Mean?

When a place is "unincorporated," it means it doesn't have its own separate town hall or mayor. The people living there get their public services, like police and fire protection, from the county government. This is different from a city or town, which has its own local rules and leaders.
