LEWES SUSSEX DELAWARE
HISTORY 1902
LEWES AND THE COUNTY
COURT HOUSE
The Lewes Pilot newspaper
recently announced that a movement is underway to have
the Sussex county court
house in Georgetown moved back to Lewes and needless to say
a
vigorous protest arose.
There is a strong sentiment I favor of moving the Court
House to
Lewes calling that the
county seat be located where it would serve to greatest number
of
people having to do
business with it. So, if Lewes wants the Court House she
will need to
become a great city with a
large majority of people to do business. Only the future knows
if
this is close at hand.
Meanwhile, the Sussex County Court House will remain at
Georgetown,
the geographical center of
Sussex County.
