Rehoboth Beach History Rehoboth Beach is a charming coastal town located in Sussex County, Delaware, United States. It was founded in 1873 as a seaside resort for the Methodist Church, and since then, it has become one of the most popular beach destinations on the East Coast.

The town was originally intended to be a site for religious retreats, and the Methodist Episcopal Church began holding camp meetings in the area in the 1870s. Visitors would come to Rehoboth to escape the summer heat and enjoy the fresh air and ocean views. In the early years, Rehoboth Beach was a small, quiet community with few amenities. There were no paved roads, no hotels or restaurants, and no electricity or running water. Visitors stayed in tents or wooden cottages, and they would spend their days swimming, fishing, and enjoying the beach.
