Iron Hill (Delaware)

Iron Hill is a prominent geographical feature in the vicinity of Newark, Delaware, in the United States. With a topographic prominence of 200 feet (61 m), it is the most prominent hill in Delaware. However, its peak elevation of 328 feet (100 m) means that it is not the state's highest point, which is located in the Piedmont plateau region near Centreville where a peak elevation of 448 feet (137 m) is attained at Ebright Azimuth. The hill is named for its iron deposits, which were mined over a 200-year period during the 18th and 19th centuries. It is part of a New Castle County park known as Iron Hill Park.
