The History of Our School

  • Located in beautiful suburban North Wilmington, Lombardy Elementary School was built in the early 1950's. Lombardy was named after the Gunning Bedford home, which is located nearby. Gunning Bedford, who was very influential to the development of the Constitution and to America as we know it, was the first Attorney General of Delaware, and very involved in his community. In his later years Gunning Bedofrd spent his later years in judicial pursuits, in aiding Wilmington Academy, in fostering abolitionism, and in enjoying his Lombardy Hall farm.

    The area around Lombardy School was once known as the Lombardy area.  Gunning Bedford named his home and buildings around his estate "Lombardy" because of the rows and rows of Lombardy Poplar trees that lined the driveway.

    Lombardy Elementary was designed by many citizens, professional staff, school board members and architect. The process took the committee more than two years to plan and design the school building.

    Lombardy Elementary School was dedicated on Sunday, September 13, 1959.  Edison W. Blevins was the first principal of Lombardy.
