The philanthropy and profound influence of the wealthy du Pont family in Delaware has been in evidence for more than 200 years.
The red, oval DuPont Co. logo, once atop the Brandywine Building and a major part of skyline in downtown Wilmington, was both a beacon and reminder to residents and visitors about the most prominent company and family in the state.

Schools, buildings, roadways, a major hotel and a country club are some of the other landmarks in the state that bear the du Pont name, although sometimes the company and family name have different capitalizations and spacing.
