Big news! It’s time to add another Governor of Delaware to the community!\u00a0 Yep, phase 2 of the single-family homesites opened up and were (very) quickly sold, which means we needed to add more. The rest of the Maull Road homesites were added and so were 9 additional homesites on Marvil Road! Check them out:<\/span><\/p>\n

Marvil Road has some amazing extensive pond homesites, most of which boast additional spacing between the homes. I have to say it is really very pretty back there –\u00a0these are some great homesites, most of which you can see from the Junction and Breakwater Trail as it moves from Gills Neck Road and travels through Senators.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

SO…who was Governor Marvil??<\/span><\/p>\n

Well, Joshua Hopkins Marvil, was born in 1825 in Laurel.\u00a0 He\u2019s quite an interesting chap as he had no previous political experience before being elected the 50<\/span>th<\/sup><\/span> Governor of Delaware.\u00a0 Reminds me of somebody\u2026 hahaha.\u00a0 Anyways, prior to politics he was a successful businessman and apparently invented a mechanism to carry peach and berry baskets. Unfortunately, another interesting tidbit about Marvel is the fact that he died just three months into office aged 69! Geez this political game is short lived – our friend Governor Maull only made it two months! All these Governors to pick from and my Lingo friends picked the least controversial! Maybe that is genius;)\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But I can gladly tell you Josh was the 9<\/span>th<\/sup><\/span> and last Governor to die in office. Although he was the 50<\/span>th<\/sup><\/span> Governor he was the 38<\/span>th<\/sup><\/span> unique\/new Governor of Delaware.\u00a0 A solid guy who was married with 3 kiddos.\u00a0 When he was called to lead the State of Delaware he rallied.\u00a0 Not long granted, but he rallied nonetheless.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s be honest, it\u2019s not a great synopsis and not the most interesting of Governor-inspired tales. Nevertheless, I don\u2019t know about you, but I kind of like being on Marvil Road!<\/span><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s to living on Marvil Road and all the joy it will bring! Cheers.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
