Opened in 1732, the historic building here served as the seat of Delaware’s colonial government and later state government until 1777, when Dover became the capitol. The building underwent further expansions over the next century, and served as the county courthouse until 1882. The Old New Castle Court House is now a National Historic Landmark and museum. Local officials hold an occasional court session there to maintain the claim that it is the oldest continuously used judicial building in the U.S. |
