Delaware Drive-in Theaters
During the 1950's, Delaware had as many as 9 drive-ins in operation in this tiny state. That may not sound like a lot, but considering Delaware only has three counties, that was 3 drive-ins per county! However, they have all gone dark now. The last of Delaware's drive-in theaters was closed in 2008. However, residents of Delaware can still enjoy a night at the movies at the drive-in in some of the many surrounding states with operation drive-in theaters.
