Information About Delaware


Delaware (/ˈdɛləwɛər/ (listen))[9] is one of the 50 states of the United States, in the South-Atlantic or Southern region.[a] It is bordered to the south and west by Maryland, north by Pennsylvania, and east by New Jersey and the Atlantic Ocean. The state takes its name from Thomas West, 3rd Baron De La Warr, an English nobleman and Virginia’s first colonial governor.[10]

Delaware occupies the northeastern portion of the Delmarva Peninsula. It’s the second smallest and sixth least populous state, but the sixth most densely populated. Delaware’s largest city is Wilmington. The state is divided into three counties, the lowest number of any state. From north to south, they are New Castle County, Kent County, and Sussex County. While the southern two counties have historically been predominantly agricultural, New Castle County is more industrialized.
