>IN Red Lion Hundred! OK, now the light DAWNS! >And I gather this was seven to ten miles from >Wilmington - which is the capital of Delaware? If memory serves me correctly, Wilmington was once part of Pennsylvania up till the line dispute in 1790. It was originally called New Sweden as it was founded by the Swedish. Although Delaware is this nations first state, it is the second smallest. It's capital now rests in the town of Dover. Delaware City is a small southern town that lies along the Delaware River. Quite quaint if one were to travel there. Mainly wood, brick structures and such. Residents know all to well the chemical plants that are scattered about in that location. But for those who seek a special treat, try a visit to the old town of New Castle. Founded by the Dutch in the 1600's. The Court House still remains that housed those officials who one day placed a line on a map to claim Delaware right to land that was otherwise Pennsylvania. Much more could be said about that state's history, but perhaps I should leave that for a Delaware list. Hope I have enlighten some of you. Take care, and happy searching.................. Cheryl To answer the long outstanding question......Does Delaware exist? It seems to be there every Christmas when citizens from surrounding states bombard the "tiny state" for tax free shopping?!
