Unincorporated community in Delaware, United States
39°43′01″N 75°47′01″W / 39.71694°N 75.78361°W / 39.71694; -75.78361Mechanicsville is an unincorporated community in New Castle County, Delaware, United States.[1]
The community is located in "The Wedge", a geometric oddity arising out of ambiguity in the 18th-century border dispute settlement between the Penns and Calverts in the British North American colonies. Until 1921, Mechanicsville was claimed by both Pennsylvania and Delaware. A resolution allocated Mechanicsville and The Wedge to Delaware, which owns it today.[2]
