Delaware


With the state motto of "Liberty and Independence," it's no surprise that Delaware was the first of the original 13 states of the Union; it's often called the "First" or "Diamond State."

Dover is the capital; the state flower is the peach blossom.

The state's name comes from the original governor of Virginia, Thomas West, Lord De La Warr. 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.
