Welcome to Fort DuPont
Fort DuPont is a waterfront community located along the Delaware River and Branch Canal. This mixed-use community integrates residential and commercial development into a historic district that dates back to the late 1800s. Along with the restoration and preservation of historic buildings, new construction includes a marina, restaurants, campground, office & retail space, housing, and 140 acres of park and recreation amenities.

PRESERVATION
The Fort DuPont Redevelopment and Preservation Corporation is focused on breathing new life into Fort DuPont through thoughtful research, planning, and renovation.
OUR COMMUNITY
Our districts form a cutting-edge community on the waterfront of the Delaware River.
The Branch Canal and Marina districts focus on the old canal and the Delaware River to the north and east; Officers Row provides the link between the two.
During the Army days, the parade ground was central to life on the post. The wide open space is a second focus for the Fort DuPont community. The Arts, Battlement Square, and Barracks districts front what will be an expansive town green.
