Neighborhood Description Hockessin (pronounced HOE-KESS-INN), a village of ten square miles established in 1688, features rolling hills and picturesque landscapes. Hockessin is one of the fastest growing areas in Delaware; since 1990, the population has tripled. Once the site of kaolin clay pits and snuff mills, Hockessin's economy has gone through several evolutions. As the pits and mills disappeared, mushroom and dairy farms took their places. Now, small businesses such as boutiques, nurseries, banking and real estate offices provide the community's economic backbone. The village is located 7 miles from Longwood Gardens, 9 miles from the University of Delaware, 10 miles from the City of Wilmington and access to the AMTRAK Northeast corridor, and only 30 miles from Philadelphia International Airport.
