The state that was chosen for this project is Delaware. Delaware is a small state located in the Mid-Atlantic. Delaware is usually referred to as the first state, because it was the first state to sign the constitution. Delaware can also be called the Blue Hen State because the blue hen is the official bird of Delaware, and because of the blue hens that Delaware soldiers carried around during the revolutionary war. Delaware even has a third nickname, the Diamond state, because Thomas Jefferson said it was a “jewel.”
Delaware was never a colony. It was called New Sweden when the Swedes took it from the Lenape Native Americans. It was then called New Amstel when the Dutch took it from the Swedes. It then became a part of Pennsylvania, but the people living there did not want to be a part of Pennsylvania. The people eventually gained independence from Pennsylvania, and named the new state Delaware.
Delaware’s oldest ethnic heritage is the Native Americans who called themselves the Lenape. Delaware also has Swedish and Dutch ethnic heritage because they were the first European’s to settle there. Today, Delaware has many people of different heritages living there.

Delaware offers a great variety of foods and things to try. From soybeans, to corn, to a lot of chicken, and plenty of crab, there is so much to taste! Definitely do not forget the great food festivals too. There is also a wide variety of heritages, and all four seasons can be experienced there. Even Delaware’s wacky laws, such as the law stating that “no person shall pretend to sleep on a bench on the boardwalk” (Dumb Laws: Stupid Laws: We have Weird Laws, Strange Laws, and Just plain Crazy Laws!), make it an interesting place. All this is how Delaware gets its most recent nickname, small wonder, from how such a small state can have so many wonders.
