THE MID-ATLANTIC STATES
DELAWARE
Its motto: Liberty and Independence.
Its nicknames: Diamond State, First State, Peach State, Small
Wonder.
A thimbleful of scenic beauty and serenity
Delawareans relish their state's nickname Small Wonder taking as
much pride in the small as in the wonder. Despite its tiny size Delaware
offers a wealth of beauty and a bonus of serenity
In the north and west, Delaware is part of the hilly Piedmont province
of the Appalachians. During the 19th century, the rushing streams of
the foothills powered Hour and paper mills, whose efficiency prompted
the Frenchman Éleuthére Irénée du Pont to set up a black gunpowder
mill along the Brandywine Creek.
Today northern Delaware, in large part because of the Du Pont
company's successes, is a bustling urban center with Wilmington at its
hub Tins region, so like a quiet French watercolor, is called Cheteau
Country
Northern Delaware comprised only one-sixth of the state. It is
separated from southern Delaware by the Chesapeake and Delaware
Canal which links the Chesapeake Bay to the Delaware River.
Southward from this busy shipping channel spread the farming tracts of
central Delaware The modern poultry industry was born here in Sussex
County in 1923 when Mrs. Wilmer Steele raised a brood of 500 chicks
for quick sale
Where the rolling waves of the Atlantic meet the more serene waters
of Delaware Bay a crook of land called Cape Henlopen protrudes.
Not far from it, Rehoboth Beach, the "nation's summer capital," for
years has provided a haven for refugees from the oppressive summer
heat of Washington, D. C.
Delaware was the first state to ratify U.S. Constitution in 1787.
