Hanbys Corner is an unincorporated community in New Castle County, Delaware, United States. It is located at the intersection of Delaware Route 3 (Marsh Road) and Delaware Route 92 (Naamans Road), in Brandywine Hundred.^[1]^[2] The area is named for , who first purchased the 125-acre (0.51 km²) parcel from the descendants of William Penn in 1753.^[3] His descendants included several notable figures in the local political scene including (1817-1892) who was elected as a State Representative in 1874, (1839-1932) who was Samuel's son and was elected State Representative in 1904, (1834-1898), who served in the 124th PA infantry during the Civil War and was elected State Senator in 1896, and Florence Wood Hanby (1870-1963), who was Robert's daughter-in-law and was the first woman elected to the Delaware House of Representatives in 1924.^[4] In addition Wayne Hanby and James Hanby have both served as Justices of the Peace for New Castle County.^{[citation needed]} The last Hanby to occupy the property, (1881-1947), another son of Samuel, attended West Chester State College before getting his law degree from Penn Law School. Albert became a Philadelphia lawyer and left his farm at Hanby's Corner to be used for the good of "all the children in Delaware". He and his wife created a foundation in 1945 to protect the property from further development.^[3] Today the YMCA operates their Hanby Camp there, and the trust provide scholarships for kids who might not otherwise be able to attend. In 2007 that support was over $70,000.^{[citation needed]}
