Delaware is among the smallest states in the United States. The
area at the mouth of the Delaware River in the north was colonized
by Swedes and Dutch in the 1630s (New Sweden), before English
immigrants to New York in 1664 entered the colony as part of the
English-Dutch War. Plans to merge Delaware with Pennsylvania in the
1700s. was never fully implemented, and in 1787 the state was able
to mark its independence by ratifying as the first the United States
Constitution, hence the state's nickname. There was a certain
slaveholding, but the economic dependence on the neighboring states
to the north was so great that Delaware remained in the Union during
the Civil War in the 1860s.
Economically, Delaware is important through liberal corporate law
that has made it the seat of many banking and finance companies; At
the same time, the state has been uniquely characterized by a single
enterprise, the chemical giant EI Du Pont de Nemours & Co. in
Wilmington. After the construction of a number of gunpowder mills in
1802, Du Pont effectively gained the lucrative monopoly on the
production of explosives in the United States over the century. The
widely branched family business dominated all sides of the state to
such an extent that in 1973, Delaware was described as The
Company State. The company expanded its production to all types
of chemicals and pioneered plastic and synthetic fibers. This story
is illustrated in the old gunpowder mill, now the Hagley Museum in
Wilmington, as well as the large Henry Francis du Pont Winterthur
Museum with a large collection of American arts and crafts. Tourists
also search for the migratory bird sanctuary Bombay Hook and flock
to seaside resorts like Rehoboth Beach, which is named the US summer
capital due to the many vacationers from the federal capital of
Washington, DC.

By road, Delaware is closely associated with neighboring states
Maryland, Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Partly via the canal link
to Chesapeake Bay (1829) and shipping on the Delaware River; partly
via freeways and bridges that place the only major city, Wilmington,
on the main route between the major cities of Baltimore and
Philadelphia with further connection to New York.
Most of the state consists of a low lying coastal plain with a
rainy, temperate climate with hot summers and mild
winters. Soybeans, maize and other field crops occupy almost half of
the area, while dairy products, vegetables and especially poultry
crops, with annual production of DKK 250 million broiler, dominating
agricultural turnover. The formerly important coastal fishery
(oyster and seafood) is of less importance, partly due to pollution.
