Delaware County: Transportation Crossroads

Delaware County's transportation history is remarkable - featuring everything from indigenous trails to wagon roads, to expressways; rivers that hosted extensive canoe and flatboat traffic; an amazing railroad presence that continues to this day with rail freight; and a growing regional aviation hub.

See many photos and illustrations and hear about the evolution of moving people and products within and outside our county, which has always been a crossroads for the state and larger region. The evolution continues today as we face new population and traffic challenges with proposals for roadways and rail that not everyone considers progress.
