Abstract:
Public health policy was managed at a local level throughout much of the state's history. Wilmington serves as a case study because of public health policy development for several reasons. The city's need for a health program for its citizens was compounded because of its continually growing population throughout much of history and its role as a bustling port. A history of public health concerns and local officials reactions are reviewed in this article.
