Delaware County, known locally as Delco, is a dense, mostly suburban county just southwest of Philadelphia. Media is the county seat.
It packs a lot into a small area, from the Brandywine battlefield in Chadds Ford to Tyler Arboretum and the carefully designed gardens at Chanticleer in Wayne. Ridley Creek State Park gives it room to breathe.
The riverfront towns along the Delaware carry a long industrial history that's slowly being remade.
Only about 3% of homes in the Philadelphia metro area, which includes Delaware County, heat with oil. If you do, it's still worth comparing quotes.
