The following are PDF’s of several Delaware Hundred Maps for the year 1868. The maps show who owned land. There are also 1868 maps of major cities in Delaware the same year.
I gathered these maps several years ago. The following information can be found at the Delaware Geological Society website – https://www.dgs.udel.edu/delaware-1868-hundreds-maps
Hundreds map of Delaware from 1875 to the present
History On October 25, 1682, William Penn directed that Delaware be divided into townships occupied by 100 families. Each family would have an average of about 10 members (including servants). These townships were referred to as hundreds in an April 9, 1690 order by the Provincial Council. Originally, there were 5 hundreds in New Castle County, 5 in Kent County and 2 in Sussex County. As the population grew, several of the hundreds divided, creating new hundreds. In 1875, the total number of hundreds had grown to the present-day 33 hundreds. Their boundaries have essentially not changed since and no longer serve as judicial or legislative districts. Several of the names of the hundreds end with the suffix kill (for example Broadkill, Murderkill, etc.). This suffix comes from the Old Dutch word ‘kille’ meaning river bed or channel.
