Human beings probably inhabited the area of Rehoboth Beach<\/a> as long ago as 10,000 BC.\u00a0 At that time, sea levels were lower, and the Atlantic Coast<\/a> lay about 30 miles farther east than it does today.<\/p>\n

The city was founded in 1873 as the\u00a0Rehoboth Beach Camp Meeting Association\u00a0as a site for\u00a0Methodist\u00a0camp meetings.\u00a0 In 1891, the location was incorporated by the\u00a0Delaware General Assembly\u00a0as “Henlopen<\/a> City”, shortly after which it was renamed to Rehoboth Beach.<\/p>\n

The town has several festivals including the Sea Witch Festival, the Rehoboth Beach Independent Film Festival and the Rehoboth Beach Autumn Jazz Festival\u00a0every year.<\/p>\n

Reader’s Digest\u00a0named the Rehoboth Beach Boardwalk as “Best of America”.\u00a0 Additionally,\u00a0AARP\u00a0has named Rehoboth Beach as one of five dream towns as “Best Places to Retire<\/a>“.<\/p>\n

Along with the neighboring coastal cities of\u00a0Lewes<\/a>, Dewey Beach<\/a> and Bethany Beach<\/a>, Rehoboth Beach is one of the principal cities of Delaware’s rapidly growing\u00a0Cape Region<\/a>.\u00a0 (Wikipedia)<\/i><\/p>\n
