Part of Delaware Valley?

How is this county part of the Delaware Valley region in any way other than geographically? Living in Philadelphia, I know that people from the region don't often refer to Maryland as part of the region. New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Delaware are the only three states I would consider part of the area.-Andrewia 01:22, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

It's part of the Delaware River watershed (even if is only some of the streams), so that's what constitutes "Delaware Valley". Besides, it's geographically closer to Philly than Balitmore, though not by much. Jimbo 18:32, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

"How is this county part of the Delaware Valley region in any way other than geographically?"

Cecil County is more tied into Wilmington, DE (one of the major three cities listed in the DV metro which is the reason for the inclusion) and New Castle County.

"It's part of the Delaware River watershed"

Cecil is a Chesapeake watershed, the C&D canal is an artificial connection.

Removed this article from the Wikipedia Philadelphia project. We have enough, without this county.--DThomsen8 (talk) 18:52, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

It's part of the Philadelphia metropolitan area, as defined by the Census Bureau (probably more because of commuters to Wilmington than to the City of Philadelphia). Unfortunately, the Wikipedia article on that topic is called "Delaware Valley."

In Wikipedia's "Delaware Valley" article, Cecil County is listed as part of that MSA. Therefore, the exclusion in parenthesis on this page should be removed. While Delaware Valley residents may not consider it part of Delaware Valley, the US Government does because it is part of the Philadelphia MSA, which is named the Delaware Valley MSA. The article isn't claiming it's part of the watershed, just stating which MSA it is located in with the proper link. It's not actually important if it's in the Delaware River watershed, just that it's located in that MSA. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Raszoo (talk • contribs) 13:06, 14 August 2014 (UTC)

Churches

Was driving through Cecil today and noticed an inordinate amount of Presbyterian Churches...they were everywhere! What gives? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.179.70.231 (talk) 22:50, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

I was looking on this page for information regarding Earleville (also spelled Earlville on maps before the current era), and couldn't find anything. If anyone has any information on the founding of this town, then that would be very helpful. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Apellicone (talk • contribs) 18:42, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

The Johnston book does mention a George Talbot. However, it doesn't match the location given, and "developer" is unsourced Tedickey (talk) 16:45, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

There's no new information in that link Tedickey (talk) 21:52, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

TV Market Realignment

Cecil County, Maryland has been realignment from the Philadelphia DMA to the Baltimore DMA, possibly to match with state lines. Can anyone consider checking this?
