DIANE & DAVE ILIFF, REALTORS®

The village of Hockessin was established in 1688 and has been one of the fastest growing areas in Delaware since 1990. Some historians believe that the town's name was derived from the Lenape Indian word for "pieces of bark" or possibly from a misspelling of the word "occasion" as it was pronounced by the Quakers who were the original settlers here.

 

The geography is a beautiful landscape of gently rolling hills and woodlands extending into neighboring Chester County, PA. In the past 30 years or so the Hockessin area has transformed from an agricultural base to a very desirable and affluent community. Some of the area amenities include the new Hockessin Athletic Club, the PAL Center, Hockessin Soccer Club and the newly renovated Hockessin Library. Here are some more Hockessin area attractions.
