Travel to the United States The Regions of the United States The States, Districts and Territories of the United States State Flag State Seal Delaware. American FactFinder (U.S. Census) Delaware, the "First" or "Diamond State" Abbreviation: DE The state's name comes from its original inhabitants, the Delaware Indians (also known as the Lenni-Lenape). Delaware was the first of the original 13 states of the Union. It's often called the "First" or "Diamond State" because it was the first state in 1787 to approve the United States Constitution. William Penn acquired the land that makes up Delaware to keep his Pennsylvania colony from being landlocked. Today, Delaware is one of the most industrialized states, known for its chemical research. Lying along the Atlantic coastline, most of Delaware lies in a low, flat coastal plain. The rolling hills and valleys of the Piedmont region cover the northern tip of the state. Delaware's many freshwater lakes and ponds, its ocean beaches and its rivers and streams provide excellent swimming, boating and fishing. Cultural and historical attractions also attract visitors to the state. Die Bezeichnung Delaware leitet sich von seinen Ureinwohnern, den Delaware Indianern (auch unter dem Namen Lenni-Lenape bekannt) ab. Delaware war einer der 13 ersten Staaten des Verbundes. Es ist unter dem Namen „First State" oder "Diamond State" bekannt, weil er als erster Bundesstaat 1787 die Verfassung der Vereinigten Staaten unterzeichnete. William Penn kaufte das Land um sicherzustellen, dass seine Kolonie Pennsylvania einen Zugang zum Meer haben würde. Heute ist Delaware einer der am stärksten industrialisierten Staaten, bekannt für seine Forschungen in der Chemie.

GPS is an essential tool for GIS because it allows for the gathering of data that locationwise is highly accurate. Definitions from the GIS Lounge Geographic Information System (GIS) - In the strictest sense, a GIS is a computer system capable of assembling, storing, manipulating, and displaying geographically referenced information, i.e. data identified according to their locations. Practitioners also regard the total GIS as including operating personnel and the data that go into the system. The components of a GIS are hardware, software, and data.

It lies on the northeast of the peninsula, facing the Delaware River, which broadens into Delaware Bay; the bay in turn joins the Atlantic Ocean at Cape Henlopen. Delaware is sometimes called the Diamond State, a reference to its small size but relative wealth. With the Delaware River and Bay along its entire eastern edge, no place in the narrow state is far from water. Many small rivers flow across the state, some flowing E to the Delaware, others W across Maryland to the Chesapeake. In the north the Christina and Brandywine flow into the Delaware; in the south the Nanticoke flows SW to Chesapeake Bay. The land is low-lying, from sand dunes in the south to rolling hills on the Pennsylvania border in the north; the average elevation is c.60 ft (18 m), and the highest point, NW of Wilmington on the Pennsylvania border, is only 440 ft (134 m). The capital is Dover , and the only large city is Wilmington Sections in this article: Introduction Facts and Figures Geography Economy Government, Politics, and Higher Education

Delaware's Boundaries Conflicting claims of ownership between Maryland and Delaware kept Delaware's boundaries uncertain during most of the colonial period and led to highly geometric dividing lines on the north, south, and west. North Northern Boundary: The Twelve-Mile Circle The northern boundary marks the division between the two separate land grants to William Penn. It is a circle with a twelve-mile radius, with the center of the circle in the center of the town of New Castle. In 1750, the center of the circle was fixed at the coupola of the courthouse in New Castle. South Southern Boundary: The Transpeninsular Line In 1751, a line was surveyed straight across the Delmarva Peninsula beginning at what they called Cape Henelopen, which was to be the southern boundary of Delaware. The surveyors, however, actually began at Fenwick Island, fifteen miles south of what is today Cape Henelopen. West In 1760, the midpoint of the tranpeninsular line was accepted as the beginning of Delaware's western boundary with Maryland. In 1764, Charles Mason and Jeremiah Dixon surveyed the boundary line north from that point. Mason and Dixon also verified the transpeninsular line. The Wedge The Wedge: A tiny piece of land in northwestern Delaware bordering on Maryland and Pennsylvania.

38. Delaware History Online - Geography - Hundreds delaware s Hundreds. delaware s counties are divided up into hundreds. The term wasfirst used in delaware in the 1680s; the first mention in a law is in 1690. http://www.hsd.org/DHE/DHE_where_hundreds.htm

Delaware's Hundreds Delaware's counties are divided up into hundreds. The origin of this English term is obscure, but one possible explanation is that a hundred is the area from which 100 soldiers could be raised. The term was first used in Delaware in the 1680s; the first mention in a law is in 1690. Other colonies used the term in their early years, but Delaware is the only state to retain it. The hundred is similar to a township in many states or to a town in New England. It used to be the basis for state representative districts and local officials. Today the term has very little political relevance but is used as an indicator of location. Some hundreds date from the late 1600s, but there have been changes and subdivisions over the years. To see a map of Delaware's hundreds, click here (From Delaware Place Names Geological Survey, Bulletin No. 1245) Hundreds of New Castle County Hundreds of Kent County Hundreds of Sussex County Hundreds of New Castle County Colonial Hundreds Brandywine Hundred Christiana Hundred New Castle Hundred St. George's Hundred
