Delaware is the first of the original 13 states to ratify the Federal Constitution. Located in the urban corridor along the Middle Atlantic Seaboard, Delaware is the second smallest state in the US and one of the most densely populated states.
Delaware is organised into 3 counties in north-south fashion. The 3 counties are Kent, New Castle and Sussex which were all established in 1682. Most of the population is concentrated in the north around Wilmington where the major coastal railways and highways pass through from New Jersey and Pennsylvania to the north and east, Maryland to the west and south. The rest of the Delaware consists of the northeastern corner of the Delmarva Peninsula which Delaware shares with Virginia and Maryland. the capital of Delaware is Dover.
Delaware has economically, historically and geographically enjoyed close ties with Pennsylvania especially with the city of Philadelphia where the Delaware River contributes greatly to her commerce.
In recent times, Delaware has been named the corporate capital, chemical capital and credit-card capital of the United States. With liberal company incorporation laws and a Court of Chancery that focuses on the complex issues of finance and corporate governance, many Amercian and overseas companies have set up shop in Delaware. The developed banking, corporate and legal sectors (mainly in the northern part of Delaware) has contributed greatly to the local economy and Delaware residents enjoy relatively high standards of living.
