Sources (5)
Counties
Urlhttps://enterprise.firstmap.delaware.gov/arcgis/rest/services/Boundaries/DE_Boundaries/MapServer/4
ProviderDelaware FirstMap, layer "State and County Boundaries"
TypeArcGIS REST MapServer
Noteverified the 3 counties (New Castle, Kent, Sussex) — raw feature count is 6 because some counties have a separate mainland+island- fragment polygon (e.g. New Castle's "Pea Patch" island). The commonly- cited host firstmap.gis.delaware.gov now 404s/redirects — use enterprise.firstmap.delaware.gov instead.
Municipalities
Urlhttps://enterprise.firstmap.delaware.gov/arcgis/rest/services/Boundaries/DE_Boundaries/MapServer/3
Providersame FirstMap host, layer "Municipalities"
TypeArcGIS REST MapServer
Noteverified 57 municipalities, exact match. Type (city/town/village) is not distinguished in the attribute table — would need to be joined from DE's municipal charter list.

School Districts
Urlhttps://enterprise.firstmap.delaware.gov/arcgis/rest/services/Society/DE_Schools/MapServer/3
Providersame FirstMap host, maintained by DE Dept of Education, layer "DOE School Districts" (the 16 regular sub-county districts)
TypeArcGIS REST MapServer
Noteverified 17 records — one more than the expected 16, likely a statewide/charter placeholder row; spot-check before ingesting.
Educational Region
Urlhttps://enterprise.firstmap.delaware.gov/arcgis/rest/services/Society/DE_Schools/MapServer/2
Providersame host, layer "DOE VoTech School Districts"
Noteverified 3 records, exact match to DE's 3 county-wide vo-tech districts. These are themselves full LEAs (taxing, degree-granting), not an overlay service agency — no true BOCES-equivalent exists.
