Local city information for Elsmere, DE

Elsmere is a town in New Castle County, Delaware, United States. According to 2006 Census Bureau estimates, the population of the town is 5,722.

The town was incorporated in the first third of the 20th century to keep the City of Wilmington from annexing the area, which abuts Wilmington on that city's southwest. By the end of the century, mismanagement and embezzlement by Elsmere's mayors, town councilors, and town managers had bankrupted the town, so that it had to cut back on the services supposed to be provided to residents and paid for by Elsmere's property taxes.

Among the more widely publicized of the town's problems were:
  • Continuing litigation since the early 1990s with various residents of the town who complained about certain instances of the town's officials' misconduct, including some who petitioned to amend the town's charter to get rid of the corrupt officials and separate litigation against Libertarian K. Kay Shearin, a resident of the town who served as an election judge in its mayoral election in 1993 and claimed that the election Almquist supervised was fraudulent.

In the most recent elections, on April 25th 2009, Deborah Norkavage became the new mayor, beating the incumbent by only 14 votes. The election results are as followed for town council:
District 1: John Jaremchuk (Incumbent, unopposed)
District 2: Steve E. Burg
District 3: Thomas S. Novak Jr. (Incumbent, unopposed)
District 4: Charles G. McKewen (Incumbent)
District 5: Joann I. Personti (Incumbent, unopposed)
District 6: John N. Pasquale, Jr. (Incumbent)

()

Elsmere is located at (39.739112, -75.594267).

According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 1.0 square miles (2.5 km²), all of it land.
