A PLACE TO CALL HOME
Wharton’s Bluff is a picturesque waterfront community located by the Indian River in Millsboro, Delaware.
The history of Millsboro dates back to the 1600s, when Nanticoke Indians lived on the land. Around 1792, the headwaters of Indian River were dammed at a place called Rock Hole to establish a grist mill and a sawmill. The town grew and the name was changed to Millsboro 1837.
The Wharton’s Bluff area was previously a fishing resort, known to locals as Old Landing Farm and began development as Wharton’s Bluff in 2006.
