Seaford: The Nylon Capital of the World

Seaford earned the nickname Nylon Capital of the World from its long history in nylon manufacturing. That industrial past still shapes the town, which sits on the Nanticoke River in western Sussex County along Route 13.

Today the local economy leans on manufacturing, poultry, farming and retail. We take requests from Seaford and pass them to partner suppliers; availability depends on partner suppliers, who set their own prices and delivery terms.

Businesses in Blades, Laurel and Bridgeville can use the same form. Western Sussex is a long way from the state's northern cities, so it helps to give your road and town. That way a supplier knows right away whether they can reach you.
