united states

Wilmington, Delaware's largest city, sits 30 miles southwest of Philadelphia along I-95, the main route connecting major Northeast cities. The city serves as a corporate headquarters hub due to Delaware's favorable business laws, with more Fortune 500 companies per capita than anywhere else in America. Local routes include Route 52 west to Brandywine Valley and Route 1 south toward Dover. Wilmington Airport is 5 miles south of downtown, though most visitors fly into Philadelphia International.
