Il Delaware (in inglese , /ˈdɛləwɛər/) è uno stato federato degli Stati Uniti d'America situato sulla East Coast che fa parte degli stati del Medio Atlantico. Confina a sud e a ovest con il Maryland, a nord-est con il New Jersey e a nord con la Pennsylvania.Il Delaware è situato nella parte nordorientale della penisola Delmarva, ed è il secondo stato più piccolo, il sesto meno popoloso ma il sesto più densamente popolato dei 50 stati. È diviso in tre contee, da nord a sud: New Castle, Kent e Sussex. Le due contee meridionali sono storicamente a predominanza agricola, mentre la contea di New Castle è più industrializzata. Prima che la sua costa fosse esplorata dagli europei nel XVI secolo, il Delaware era abitato da diversi gruppi di nativi americani, tra cui i Lenape a nord e i Nanticoke a sud. Fu inizialmente colonizzato dagli olandesi con la colonia Zwaanendael, situata presso l'attuale città di Lewes, nel 1631. Il Delaware è stato una delle tredici colonie a partecipare alla rivoluzione americana, ed il 7 dicembre 1787 fu il primo a ratificare la Costituzione degli Stati Uniti d'America; pertanto è conosciuto come Il primo stato. La capitale è Dover.
