About Delaware:
Delaware, one of the South Atlantic states of the United States.
It occupies part of the peninsula between Delaware Bay and Chesapeake
Bay. Delaware was one of the 13 original states. Delawareans played
a major role in the events that occurred during and after the American
Revolution (1775-1783), and on December 7, 1787, Delaware became
the first of the original 13 states to ratify the Constitution of
the United States.
Population:
According to the 2000 national census, population of Delaware ranked
45th among the states, with a total population of 783,600. This
represented an increase of 17.6 percent over the 1990 census figure
of 666,168. Despite its comparatively small population, Delaware
had a high average density in 2003 of 162 persons per sq km (418
per sq mi). Some 80 percent of the population lived in urban areas
in 2000.
Economy:
Delaware is a small but prosperous state, the economy of Delaware
benefits from the large urban markets nearby. During much of the
19th and 20th centuries, manufacturing was the state’s leading
economic activity. In the late 1990s, however, the finance sector
provided the greatest share of the state’s economy, with many
people employed in commerce, service industries, or government agencies
as well.
