About Dover (DE)
Founded in 1683, Dover is one of the oldest cities in the nation and proudly serves as Delaware's capital since 1777. Its history is palpable in the beautifully preserved Dover Green Historic District, where the echoes of the American Revolution still seem to linger. The city is famously known for two things: its deep colonial roots and as the 'Monster Mile,' home to the Dover International Speedway, which draws hundreds of thousands of racing fans each year. Culturally, Dover is a blend of government formality, military presence from the massive Dover Air Force Base, and a strong sense of local community. The main districts include the historic downtown around The Green and State Street, the commercial corridors along Route 13 and DuPont Highway, and the more suburban areas surrounding the city. It's a city where you can tour the Georgian architecture of the Delaware State Capitol, witness the solemn duty of the Air Force's port mortuary, and enjoy a quiet afternoon at the John Dickinson Plantation, all within a short drive. Dover's identity is firmly tied to its status as the First State, a title it celebrates with pride in its many museums and parks.
Best Time to Visit Dover (DE)
The best time to visit Dover is during the spring (April to June) and fall (September to October) when the weather is mild and pleasant, with comfortable temperatures and lower humidity. These seasons are ideal for exploring historic sites and outdoor attractions. Summer (July and August) can be hot and humid, but it's the peak season for NASCAR events at the Dover International Speedway, typically held in May and August/September; expect higher hotel rates and crowds during these race weekends. The fall also features beautiful foliage and events like the Old Dover Days festival in early May. Winter (December to February) is the off-peak season, with colder temperatures and occasional snow. While some outdoor attractions may have limited hours, it's a quiet time to explore museums and enjoy lower accommodation prices, with the city's 17 hotels often having greater availability.
