Lincoln City is a small unincorporated community in northern Sussex County, Delaware, USA. The planner that originally laid out the town planned for it to become the county seat. Commonly called Lincoln, the proper name is in fact Lincoln City. Lincoln City lies on U.S. Highway 113 between Ellendale and Milford. The town was never incorporated, however streets were laid out and several businesses and residences came, surrounding the current Norfolk Southern railroad line. Lincoln City is the headquarters of the Delaware Coast Line Railroad. Recently there has been a push to have the town of Lincoln City incorporated for two reasons. First, the city of Milford is quickly growing towards Lincoln City and could eventually envelope the town. Secondly, the Delaware Department of Transportation is developing a Milford By-Pass for US 113 that could divide the small community of Lincoln City, effectively cutting off neighbors from each other, as well as causing the removal of several homes and businesses and at least one of the two schools in Lincoln City.
