History

Here is some information on Delaware and its history. Delaware’s nickname is “The First State” and its state bird is The Blue Hen. The states flower is the “peach blossom”. Delaware was the first state to become part of the union. Delaware became a state on June 8, 1901. The states motto is “It’s good to be first”. In 1609 Henry Hudson sailed into Delaware trying to find a trade rout to the Far East. In 1674 the Dutch rule ended. A new British Governor, Sir Edmund Andros arrived at New Castle to take command. In the 1700’s two Indian tribes were in Delaware before the Europeans were. Then in 1769 William Penn signed the charter for Francis Alison’s New Ark Academy, processor of the UD representing his brothers. Lastly in 1776 a dispute between William Penn and Lord Baltimore continued. That is also the time when Delaware declared itself free from the British Empire and established a government separate from PA’s. The reason I want to go to Delaware is to see some historical land marks like the Dilworth house or the McDonough house. Maybe I’ll go to Wiggins Mill Park. Also to see lots of tourist attractions like Killens Pond .And to relax on Rehoboth beach. netstate.com
