Delaware State History and Constitution Origins
Delaware began as New Sweden along the Delaware River, later controlled by the Dutch and then the English before Penn granted it to his proprietorship. It gained its own legislature in the eighteenth century and became independent during the Revolution, with three presidential electors reflecting its population. The name Delaware honors Lord Delaware, Virginia governor in 1610, and the state’s development links to colonial transitions.
