The fast-growing southern third of New Castle County south of the Chesapeake & Delaware Canal, collectively known as the MOT area after its three incorporated towns: Middletown, Odessa, and Townsend. This region has experienced explosive residential growth since the mid-2000s as new subdivisions filled in along the US-301 and DE-1 corridors. Served by the Appoquinimink School District — one of Delaware's highest-rated and fastest-growing districts. Also includes St. Georges, Port Penn, and the Augustine Beach bayshore areas.
