Rodney Square is a public square located in the heart of downtown Wilmington. Originally developed in the early 20th century as part of a civic center plan, it has served as a focal point for public gatherings and events for over a century. The square is named after Caesar Rodney, a Delaware delegate who played a crucial role in signing the Declaration of Independence.

The square’s defining feature is its open layout surrounded by historic buildings including the Hotel du Pont and the Grand Opera House. It routinely hosts concerts, festivals, farmers markets, and other community events, functioning as a significant cultural hub for the city of Wilmington and New Castle County.
