The town of Wilmington was incorporated in 1730.

The Geological formation of Wilmington is of a primitive azoic order, consisting of gneiss, mica slate and hornblend[e] with detached masses of quartz and feldspar. In the west part of the town are quarries of limestone which are rather too sandy to make the best of lime, but is used for agricultural purposes; also, some iron ore is found.

In the west part there, is serpentine and some steletite. Deposit[e]s of clay are numerous and tertiary moraines are plenty along the streams. There is not any valuable minerals, although a thorough geological survey has never been made.
