Delaware är en amerikansk delstat som ligger på Atlantkusten i regionen Mid-Atlantic i USA. Delstaten har fått sitt namn från Thomas West, 3:e baron De La Warr, en brittisk adelsman och Virginias första Engelska koloniala guvernör. Delaware är beläget på nordöstra delen av Delmarvahalvön och är den näst minsta delstaten till ytan (efter Rhode Island). Uppskattningar år 2007 rankade Delaware som den 6:e minst folkrika delstaten i landet men på grund av den ringa ytan var den ändå på sjätte plats räknat i befolkningstäthet, och mer än 60 procent av invånarna bor i New Castle County. Delaware är indelat i tre countyn, från norr till söder är New Castle County, Kent och Sussex. Delstaten rankas på andra plats i antal civila forskare och ingenjörer i procent av arbetskraften och antalet patent som utfärdas till företag eller personer per 1 000 anställda. Delawares ekonomiska och industriella utveckling är nära kopplad till inverkningarna av familjen Du Pont, grundare av EI du Pont de Nemours and Company, ett av världens största kemiföretag. Innan dess kust först utforskades av européer på 1500-talet var Delaware bebodd av flera indianstammar, däribland Lenape i norr och i söder. Delstaten koloniserades ursprungligen av nederländska handelsmän vid Zwaanendael, nära den nuvarande staden Lewes år 1631. Delaware var en av de tretton kolonierna som deltog i den amerikanska revolutionen och den 7 december 1787 blev man den första delstaten att ratificera USA:s konstitution och därför blev man känd som The First State. Delstaten var (efter South Carolina) den näst sista att införa val av elektorer genom folkval, vilket skedde inför presidentvalet 1848.
