Ogletown is an unincorporated community in New Castle County, Delaware, United States. Ogletown is located at the junction of Delaware routes 4 and 273, 3 miles (4.8 km) east of Newark. It is common lore that Maryland Bank (MBNA) is "the bank that ate Ogletown", after the State of Delaware awarded MBNA economic incentives to relocate, usurp and raze most of its historic structures and commerce by the late 1980s.
