A large statue of Rodney by James E. Kelly stands in the front of the square. The square was created in the early 20th century by John Jacob Raskob who worked for Pierre S. du Pont.[1] The City Beautiful movement served as the inspiration for the effort.[2] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011, as the Rodney Square Historic District.[3] Events

TransportationRodney Square serves as a bus stop for several DART First State bus routes including 2, 4, 6, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, 18, 20, 45, 48, and 301.[5] From 1992 to December 2017, Rodney Square served as the main hub for DART First State buses in Wilmington. In December 2017, the state of Delaware under the direction of Governor John Carney eliminated the bus hub at Rodney Square by scattering stops throughout downtown Wilmington, removing 13 routes from stopping at the square. The decision to eliminate the hub was made in order to reduce congestion and overcrowding at Rodney Square. This action resulted in many riders having to walk multiple blocks to make transfers, and many of the new bus stops do not have shelters or benches. The Wilmington Transit Center is being built as a new hub for DART First State buses adjacent to the Wilmington Train Station, with completion expected in December 2019.[6][7] References1. ^Brandywine Valley Scenic Byway Rodney Square, DE 2. ^{{cite web |first=Maureen |last=Milford |title=MBNA's homage to the past |publisher=The News Journal | archivedate = November 2003 |date=2003-10-19 |url=http://www2.delawareonline.com/newsjournal/business/2003/10/19mbnapayshomaget.html |accessdate=2009-01-18 |archiveurl=https://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/delawareonline/access/1819842061.html?FMT=ABS }} Abstract free; full text requires payment. 3. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.cr.nps.gov/nr/listings/20110819.htm|title=National Register of Historic Places Listings|date=2011-08-19|work=Weekly List of Actions Taken on Properties: 8/09/11 through 8/12/11|publisher=National Park Service}} 4. ^1 2 {{NRISref|version=2010a}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.dartfirststate.com/information/routes/index.shtml|title=Routes and Schedules|publisher=DART First State|accessdate=August 16, 2013}} 6. ^{{cite news|last=Jedra|first=Christina|title=Wilmington bus riders clash with DART over elimination of Rodney Square stops|work=The News Journal|location=Wilmington, DE|date=January 30, 2018|url=https://www.delawareonline.com/story/news/local/2018/01/30/wilmington-bus-riders-clash-dart-over-elimination-rodney-square-stops/1068991001/|accessdate=December 10, 2018}} 7. ^{{cite news|last=Jedra|first=Christina|title=New Wilmington transit center coming December 2019, officials say|work=The News Journal|location=Wilmington, DE|date=November 19, 2018|url=https://www.delawareonline.com/story/news/2018/11/19/new-wilmington-transit-center-coming-dec-2019-officials-say/1986464002/|accessdate=December 10, 2018}}
