Seaford was laid out in 1799, when it was called Hooper’s Landing, and was first incorporated in 1865. Seaford Academy stood here from 1819 until some time before the Civil War. Rev. Leonidas Polk, later an Episcopal Bishop and a Major General in the Confederate Army, studied at the academy. It was also the home of William H. Ross, the thirty-seventh Governor of Delaware.
