The
Riverfront
history
The Wilmington Riverfront’s story begins more than 380 years ago when Swedish and Finnish settlers aboard the Kalmar Nyckel landed at Fort Christina on the Christina River, establishing New Sweden, the first permanent European settlement in the Delaware Valley, which would eventually grow into the city of Wilmington.
history
For centuries, the riverfront was a hub of industry and shipbuilding, until the Riverfront Development Corporation transformed it into a vibrant destination of parks, dining, culture, and waterfront living. Today, Rowhaus brings this history to life, offering apartments that balance riverside calm with downtown energy, placing you at the center of the riverfront’s past, present, and future. Here, work close, wander closer, and make the riverfront your everyday backdrop.
