德拉瓦州的座右銘是「自由與獨立」,所以它是最早加入聯邦13州中的第一州,也就不叫人感到意外了。德拉瓦州時常被稱為「第一」或「鑽石之州」。它的名字來自於這片土地上的原住民:德拉瓦族印地安人(又名倫尼萊納佩人)。為避免賓州殖民地成為內陸地區,賓恩取得這片構成德拉瓦州的土地。而現在的德拉瓦州是工業化最徹底的州之一,又以化學研究最著稱。多佛是德拉瓦州的首府,而州花是桃花。
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." The state's name comes from its original inhabitants, the Delaware Indians (also known as the Lenni-Lenape). 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. Dover is the capital; the state flower is the peach blossom.
