Bear is a census-designated place (CDP) in New Castle County, Delaware, United States. The population was 19,371 at the 2010 census.

Originally a small crossroads in a rural area, approximately 14 miles (23 km) south of Wilmington, the area supported small farms growing mainly corn and cattle. In the late 1980s and 1990s Bear became a popular location for the construction of sprawling housing developments and shopping centers[3] along U.S. Route 40. Much of Bear runs along the highway, and extends to approximately Delaware Route 896.

History

According to common legend, the name "Bear" originated from a tavern located along the roadway from Wilmington to Dover, Delaware (at the intersection now formed by U.S. Route 40 and Delaware Route 7), whose sign was decorated with the image of a large bear, and which George Washington had reportedly visited.[4]

Bear's population was 50 in 1890,[5] and was 59 in 1900.[6]

In later years, Bear has had a history of being centered around shopping centers and neighborhoods located along U.S. Route 40.
