[3] After being divided by the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal and then bypassed by a newer bridge, the town asked to have their charter revoked by the state in 1940.

[5] The Senator William V. Roth Jr. Bridge (Delaware Route 1) passes just west of the community.

The freighter lost control, hit the north tower of the bridge, and caused it to collapse.

It was a small pedestrian swing bridge that crossed over the former Saint Georges Locks.

It was destroyed when the locks were dismantled during the first widening and deepening (to sea level) of the canal.
