Liston Range Rear Lighthouse is a lighthouse in Delaware, United States, on the Delaware River. The 120 feet (37 m) wrought iron tower was made by the Kellogg Bridge Company of Buffalo, New York. The light was built several miles to the east of its present location in 1876–1877, and was moved in 1906.[2] The light was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.[3] It is the tallest lighthouse in Delaware.[4]
