Delaware – The First State
DELAWARE STATE FLAG
The State Flag of Delaware was adopted July
24, 1913. In accordance
with the design authorized
at that time the State
Flag has a background of
colonial blue, surrounding
a diamond of buff color in
which is placed the coat
of arms of the State of Delaware.

in chapter 62, volume 26, Laws of Delaware. Below the diamond are the words, “December 7, 1787”, indicating the
GD\RQZKLFK'HODZDUHZDVWKHÀUVW6WDWHWRUDWLI\WKH)HGeral Constitution. Because of this action Delaware became

THE STATE BIRD
A tradition recorded by the historians
of Delaware in their writings relating to
the “Blue Hen’s Chickens,” it is told that
during the early days of the Revolutionary War the men of Captain Jonathan
Caldwell’s company, recruited in Kent
County, took with them game chickens
QRWHGIRUWKHLUÀJKWLQJDELOLW\7KHVH
chickens were said to be of the brood of
a famous blue hen.

STATE NICKNAMES
Delaware is called “The First State” in recognition of being

tion. This occurred on Dec. 7, 1787, at a session in Dover.
President Thomas Jefferson referred to Delaware as being
like a diamond, because it had great worth even though it
was small, and this led to the additional nickname of “The
Diamond State.”
STATE FRUIT
Adopted May 13, 2010, the strawberry is an
important product of Delaware's agricultural
industry. Delaware strawberries are bred for
taste, not to be big or last a long time on a
store self.
Learn more about strawberries in the "Food
for Thought" PSA brought to you by the Delaware Department of Agriculture.
THE STATE TREE
By Act of the General Assembly of
the State of Delaware approved by the
Governor on May 1, 1939, the American Holly, often called Christmas holly
RUHYHUJUHHQKROO\EHFDPHWKHRIÀFLDO
State Tree of Delaware. In Delaware the
trees rarely exceed 60 feet in height and
a trunk diameter of 20 inches.
The tree bears a profusion of sweet

bright red berries appear and it is from
the dark green thorny leaved foliage
with the red berries that the various
Christmas greens and decorations are made.
THE STATE FLOWER
7KH3HDFK%ORVVRPZDVDGRSWHGDVWKHRIÀFLDOÁRUDO
emblem of the State of Delaware on
May 9, 1895. Prior to the passage of this
act there had been much sentiment
among some of the citizens of the State
who favored the Golden Rod as the
State Flower. As a result of this sentiment the agriculturalists and the school
children sent petitions to the legislature pointing out that Delaware had
the reputation of being the “Peach
State” since her orchards contained
more than 800,000 peach trees, which yielded a crop worth
thousands of dollars. These reasons prompted the adoption

THE STATE SEAL
Adopted January 17, 1777, the State Seal
contains the coat of arms. It also bears
inscription around it “The Great Seal of the
State of Delaware” and the dates 1793, 1847,
and 1907. 1793 and 1847 are dates when
minor design changes in that seal occurred.
1907 is the year in which the seal currently in
use was procured.
THE STATE BUG
Adopted April 25, 1974, the Lady Bug was
chosen by the Legislature after an intensive
effort on the insect’s behalf by a group of
elementary school children.
STATE DESSERT: PEACH PIE
On July 30, 2009, peach pie was

part of Delaware's agricultural heritage,
as the peach was introduced to Delaware in Colonial times and expanded
as an industry in the nineteenth century.
Delaware was the country's leading producer of peaches
for part of the nineteenth century, at its peak, shipping 6

The City of Dover
The City of Dover, located in Kent County approximately 90
miles south of Philadelphia and 90 miles east of Washington, is
the capital of Delaware. Dover encompasses a larger area
than any other city on the Delmarva Peninsula and has an
estimated population of 34,120.
The City was founded in 1683 by William Penn and was ofÀFLDOO\ODLGRXWRYHUDFUHVE\WKH'HODZDUH*HQHUDO$Vsembly in 1717. The greatest periods of expansion in Dover
occurred in the years following World Wars I and II. Completion of the DuPont Highway throughout the length of Delaware in 1924 acted as a catalyst for rapid growth.
Land the City acquired for construction of an airport was
developed and activated during World War II as the Dover Air
Force Base. Since that time the base has developed into one
of the largest military freight terminals in the world and is home
to the 436th and 512th Airlift Wings.
February 6, 2012, the City's Charter was amended to extend
the term lengths of the Mayor and Council from two years to
four years, and this change is currently being phased in. The
0D\RUDQG&RXQFLOPHPEHUVVZRUQLQWRRIÀFHLQ0D\
are serving three-year terms. Beginning with the municipal

year staggered terms. City Council meetings are held in City
Hall on the second and fourth Mondays of each month and
are open to the public. City of Dover Municipal elections are
held biannually on the third Tuesday in April. Residents may
register to vote at the Department of Elections, 100 Enterprise
Place, Suite 5 between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Monday through
Friday.
Today Dover is a thriving community. Residential, commercial, industrial and institutional development continue at a

Harrington’s roots can be traced back to the 1730’s and
a settlement developed by the Clark family. By the 1800’s,
Clarks Corner was well established at the crossroads of the
Frederica and Milford Roads with an inn, tavern, store and
mill nearby.
A railroad station and depot were established as well as a
SRVWRIÀFHWRVHUYHWKHIDUPLQJUHVLGHQFHVVWRUHVDQGVPDOO
businesses. In 1859 the city was re-named Harrington in
honor of the Honorable Samuel M. Harrington, the ChancelORURIWKH6WDWHDQGWKHÀUVWSUHVLGHQWRIWKH'HODZDUH5DLOroad. The City of Harrington was incorporated by the
General Assembly on March 23, 1869. This was an important
year for the community due to a second rail line, the Junction and Breakwater, being constructed from the station
through Milford and further south to Georgetown and Lewes
in Sussex County. Products and produce from the Harrington
area were shipped to the ports on the Delaware Bay and
from there to Wilmington, Philadelphia and New York. The
-XQFWLRQDQG%UHDNZDWHUVROLGLÀHG+DUULQJWRQ·VSODFHDVWKH
key transportation hub for central and southern Delaware.
In addition to the railroad yards and associated warehouse, manufacturing was important in Harrington in the
second half of the nineteenth century. The City boasted a
sawmill, cannery, fruit evaporator, basket factory and fertilizer plant.
With passage of the Highway Act of 1917, the Delaware
State Highway Department constructed what is now US
Route 13 to link the County seats and larger towns and provide road access to the important railroad terminals. This
construction helped Harrington remain an important transportation hub for goods and services.
Today the City’s geographic and public services are still
centered about the railroad junction site. Harrington is included as a “Railroad Town” in the Industrialization and
Capitalization 1830-1880 time period in the Management
Plan for Delaware’s Historical Archeological Resources.
The Fairgrounds and Harness Racing, two longtime Harrington traditions, are the foundation for the city’s new
growth and future development. The Fairgrounds have
been an integral part of life in and around Harrington since
1920 when a small group of entrepreneurs started the Kent
& Sussex County Fair (name changed to the Delaware State
Fair in 1962). Harrington has been a harness racing town,
since a group of enthusiasts held a 60-day meet on the fairgrounds in 1946. The next year they formed an
association called “The Harrington Raceway” and built the
present day track. Today it is the oldest continuously operating harness racing track in the country.
Harrington Raceway & Casino has had an enormous effect on Harrington and the surrounding area. Most of its 450
HPSOR\HHVDUHORFDO7KHÁRRGRISHRSOHDQGPRQH\FRPing to play the slots has led to other expansions and created
more restaurants and motels in the area.
Despite the development and the expectation of more to
come, many residents say Harrington manages to maintain
its friendly atmosphere!

value of the county's broiler production exceeds $110 million
per year and Kent ranks 61st (out of 3,054 U.S. counties) nationally in the number of broiler chickens produced. Kent also ranks
58th nationally in harvested vegetable acreage. Kent is the
State's leader in production of barley, fruit, dairy and cattle.
Other important commodities include corn, soybeans, wheat,
equine, and goats. Most of the county's soils are level and well

DE residency. If your name has changed since birth, you will also

provided, you will be issued a federally compliant driver's license.
The DMV website (www.dmv.de.gov) has a complete list of acceptable documents as well as a 'Document Selector Guide" located under Driver Services to help you determine which
documents to bring with you. If your out-of-state license has exSLUHGEULQJLQDFXUUHQWFHUWLÀHGFRS\RI\RXUGULYLQJUHFRUGIURP

townhouses from the mid to upper $150,000’s and spacious,
semi-custom single family homes available from the lower to
mid $200,000’s, which may include a basement.

Realtors for sales. Privately owned senior citizen retirement
communities with nursing and convalescent care services are
available too.

sales in 2013 was $206,000. New homes averaged $254,000
and existing homes averaged $186,000. Rental units can be
found by contacting both real estate companies who manage privately owned units and privately owned apartment
complexes, mostly near Dover. A typical two bedroom apartment in a privately owned complex in the Dover area starts
at $850 per month and may include washer and dryer. Shortterm rentals are available if you’re waiting for a new home to
