History[edit]

The name "Henlopen" probably is derived from that of Thijmen Jacobsz Hinlopen (1572–1637), a merchant in Amsterdam in the Netherlands.

Evidence of Native American activity prior to the arrival of Europeans has been found in Henlopen Acres.^[6] After the arrival - organized by the Dutch merchant Samuel Blommaert (1583–1651 or 1654) - of the first European settlers, the area became farmland.

In 1930, a 156-acre (63 ha) parcel of this farmland was deeded to Colonel Wilbur S. Corkran (1888–1962) for $100,000.^[6] Corkran developed the parcel during the 1930s as a "residential development where quiet-loving, cultured people may live in a country seaside community amid conditions which make for health, comfort and refined pleasure."^[7] Corkran's development was incorporated in 1970 as the town of Henlopen Acres.^[7]
