Claymont is a census-designated place in New Castle County, Delaware, United States. As of the 2020 U.S. census, the population of Claymont was 9,895. The community now known as Claymont started on the banks of Naamans Creek where it empties into the Delaware River. This once rich ecosystem has been occupied steadily since before 1200 A.D. and has undergone numerous cultural and economic changes, most of which are still evident in the architecture and living patterns of the community today. The first residents were aboriginal Indians of the Middle Woodland period. Evidence of these early dwellers has been found along both sides of Naamans Creek.
