About Delaware...
Delaware is a state located on the Atlantic coast in the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States. The state takes its name from Thomas West, 3rd Baron De La Warr, a British nobleman and Virginia first colonial governor, after whom (what is now called) Cape Henlopen was originally named.
Delaware is located in the eastern part of the Delmarva Peninsula, between Delaware Bay and Chesapeake Bay, and is the second smallest state. 2007 estimates place the inhabitants of Delaware ranking 45th in people, but in the 6th population density, with more than 60% of the population in New Castle County. Delaware is divided into three counties: New Castle, Kent and Sussex. While the southern two counties have historically been predominantly agricultural, the northernmost county helped lead the state to rank second in the civilian scientists and engineers as a percentage of the workforce and the number of patents issued to companies or individuals per 1,000 workers. History of country economic and industrial development is closely related to the impact of the Du Pont family, the founder of EI du Pont de Nemours and Company, one of the world's largest chemical companies.
Prior to its shores for the first time explored the Europeans in the 16th century, Delaware was inhabited by several groups of Americans, including the Lenape to the north and south toward Nanticoke. It was originally colonized by Dutch traders in the Zwaanendael, which is located near the present town of Lewes, in 1631. [10] Delaware was one of the original 13 states participating in the American Revolution and on 7 Dec 1787, became the first to ratify the Constitution of the United States.
