Today, this community is where the business district, parks, homes and schools are snuggled close together. “Marcus Hook is a relaxed community with festivals and events. It’s a nice place to live and easy to get around,” says an associate at the local Marcus Hook Deli.
Surrounded by industry, Marcus Hook is a peaceful oasis along the Delaware River.
Marcus Hook's industrial past is still evident today in its architecture and its pride.
