State Background:
Delaware is the story of a small American state, in the middle of heart of the nation, and yet until recently often isolated and even invisible to outsiders. Still because of the geographic location and settlement pattern it has been evenly divided on the key issues in American history and has often seemed like the United States in miniature.
Delaware is made up of three counties that have been well established since 1680, before the time of William Penn. Each has had its own unique settlement history and their inhabitants tended to identify more closely with the county than the colony or state. Large parts of southern and western Delaware were thought to have been in Maryland until 1767 and all of the state has existed in the looming presence of Philadelphia.
