Gumboro is a small unincorporated community in Sussex County, Delaware, USA. It is part of the Seaford, Delaware Micropolitan Statistical Area.
Gumboro is home to the Old Homestead, a home in the heart of town that is reportedly haunted, and the Cypress Swamp which many travelers have reported hearing voices emanating from.
Infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) was first discovered in Gumboro in the 1962, and thus has been known as Gumboro disease. This virus causes an immuno-suppressive disease in chickens. The disease is usually sub-clinical in birds less than two weeks of age and clinical disease is generally observed in birds over two weeks of age.
Gumboro plays host to the annual Gumboro Mud Bog, where people take 4 wheel drive trucks and SUVs into the mud.
