Before its coastline was first explored by Europeans
in the 16th century, Delaware was inhabited by several groups of Native
Americans, including the Lenape in the north and Nanticoke in the south. It
was initially colonized by Dutch traders at Zwaanendael, located near the
present town of Lewes, in 1631. Delaware was one of the thirteen colonies
participating in the American Revolution and on December 7, 1787, became the
first state to ratify the Constitution of the United States, therefore
becoming known as The First State.
The state ranks second in civilian scientists and engineers as a percentage of the workforce and number of patents issued to companies or individuals per 1,000 workers. The history of the state's economic and industrial development is closely tied to the impact of the Du Pont family, founders and scions of E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company, one of the world’s largest chemical companies.
Though it is small in size, Delaware offers some exceptional layouts for the avid golfer.
