Henry Hudson, sailing under the Dutch flag, is
credited with Delaware's discovery in 1609. The following year,
Capt. Samuel Argall of Virginia named Delaware for his colony's
governor, Thomas West, Baron De La Warr. An attempted Dutch
settlement failed in 1631. Swedish colonization began at Fort
Christina (now Wilmington) in 1638, but New Sweden fell to Dutch
forces led by New Netherlands' governor Peter Stuyvesant in
1655.
England took over the area in 1664, and it was transferred to
William Penn as the lower Three Counties in 1682. Semiautonomous
after 1704, Delaware fought as a separate state in the American
Revolution and became the first state to ratify the Constitution
in 1787.
During the Civil War, although a slave state, Delaware did not
secede from the Union.
In 1802, Ëleuthère Irénée du Pont established a gunpowder mill
near Wilmington that laid the foundation for Delaware's huge
chemical industry. Delaware's manufactured products now also
include vulcanized fiber, textiles, paper, medical supplies,
metal products, machinery, machine tools, and automobiles.
Delaware also grows a great variety of fruits and vegetables and
is a U.S. pioneer in the food-canning industry. Corn, soybeans,
potatoes, and hay are important crops. Delaware's
broiler-chicken farms supply the big Eastern markets, and
fishing and dairy products are other important industries.
Points of interest include the Fort Christina Monument, Hagley
Museum, Holy Trinity Church (erected in 1698, the oldest
Protestant church in the United States still in use), and
Winterthur Museum, in and near Wilmington; central New Castle,
an almost unchanged late 18th-century capital; and the Delaware
Museum of Natural History.
Popular recreation areas include Cape Henlopen, Delaware
Seashore, Trap Pond State Park, and Rehoboth Beach. |
