Posted by: Charles Harrington Date: May 09, 2000 at 17:35:15 In Reply to: Kent Co., DE City names? by James Pederson of 390 The counties are subdivided into hundreds. An old explanation is an area large enough to furnish 100 men for protection. Murderkill hundred is along the Murderkill river, kill is a derivative of Dutch or Swewdish for creek or river. The Mispillion river is the souther border of Mispillion hundred and also the Kent, Sussex county border. Hope this helps. Followups: Re: Kent Co., DE City names? Loralee H.
