 <\/p>\n

At that time the area was considered to be part of the Virginia colony. However, the Dutch thought they also had a claim, based on the explorations of Henry Hudson , and under the auspices of the Dutch West India Company were the first Europeans to actually occupy the land. In any case, Minuit had a disagreement with the directors of the Dutch West India Company, was recalled from New Netherland, and quickly made his services available to his many friends in Sweden , then a major power in European politics.<\/p>\n

They established a Swedish South Company , aimed at settling the territory of New Sweden , and, following much negotiation, he led a group under the flag of Sweden to the Delaware River in They established a trading post at Fort Christina , now in Wilmington.<\/p>\n

Minuit claimed possession of the western side of the Delaware River, saying he had found no European settlement there. Unlike the Dutch West India Company, the Swedes intended to actually bring settlers to their outpost and begin a colony. Minuit drowned in a hurricane on the way home that same year, but the Swedish colony continued to grow gradually. While the Dutch settlement at Zwaanendael “swan valley” , or present-day Lewes , was soon destroyed in a war with Native Americans , the Dutch never gave up their claim to the area, and in , under the leadership of Peter Stuyvesant , built Fort Casimir, now New Castle.<\/p>\n

For the Swedes, this was a catastrophic miscalculation, as the next summer, , an enraged Stuyvesant led another Dutch expedition to the Delaware River, attacked all the Swedish communities and forcibly ended the New Sweden colony, incorporating the whole area back into the New Netherland colony.<\/p>\n

It was not long, though, before the Dutch too were forcibly removed by the English , who asserted their earlier claim. In , James , the Duke of York and brother of King Charles II , outfitted an expedition that easily ousted the Dutch from both the Delaware and Hudson rivers, leaving the Duke of York the proprietary authority in the entire area.<\/p>\n

But Cecil Calvert, 2nd Baron Baltimore , Proprietor of Maryland , claimed a competing grant to lands on the western shore of Delaware Bay , including all of the present state of Delaware. James, the Duke of York, believed he had won the area in war and was justified in ownership.<\/p>\n

William Penn was granted “Pennsylvania”, which grant specifically excluded New Castle or any of the lands within 12 miles 19 km of it. Nevertheless, Penn wanted an outlet to the sea from his new province. He persuaded James to lease him the western shore of Delaware Bay. So, in , Penn arrived in New Castle with two documents: a charter for the Province of Pennsylvania and a lease for what became known as “the Lower Counties on the Delaware”.<\/p>\n

Penn had inherited James’ claims and thus began nearly years of litigation between Penn and Baltimore, and their heirs, in the High Court of Chancery in London. The settlement of the legal battles was started by the heirs’ agreeing to the survey performed by Charles Mason and Jeremiah Dixon between and Their work resulted in the famous Mason\u2014Dixon line. The final adjudication of the settlement was not completed until the eve of the American Revolution.<\/p>\n

The settlement was a major reason for the close political alliance between the property owners of the Lower Counties and the Royalist Proprietary government.<\/p>\n

In William Penn’s Frame of Government of , he established a combined assembly for his domain by providing for equal membership from each county and requiring legislation to have the assent of both the Lower Counties and the Upper Counties of Chester , Philadelphia and Bucks.<\/p>\n

The assembly meeting place alternated between Philadelphia and New Castle. Once Philadelphia began to grow, its leaders resented having to go to New Castle and gain agreement of the assemblymen from the sparsely populated Lower Counties. In members of the two regions mutually agreed to meet and pass laws separately from then on. The Lower Counties did continue to share a governor, but the Province of Pennsylvania never merged with the Lower Counties.<\/p>\n

The border between Pennsylvania and Delaware is formed by an arc known as the Twelve-Mile Circle laid out in the seventeenth century to clearly delineate the area within the sphere of influence of New Castle. A small dispute lingered until over an area known as the Wedge , where the Mason\u2014Dixon line and the Twelve-Mile Circle left a fragment of land claimed by both Pennsylvania and Delaware.<\/p>\n

Delaware was one of the Thirteen Colonies which revolted against British rule in the American Revolution. After the Revolution began in , the three counties became “The Delaware State”, and in that entity adopted its first constitution, declaring itself to be the “Delaware State”. Its first governors went by the title of “President”. The Battle of Cooch’s Bridge was the only major military engagement of the Revolution that took place on Delaware soil.<\/p>\n

The engagement began August 30, , about 2 miles 3 km south of Cooch’s Bridge located in present-day Newark. The Americans harried the lead forces of the British Army. However, the roughly colonials were greatly outmanned and outgunned. Washington’s troops were slowly driven back. By September 3, the colonials had dropped back to Cooch’s Bridge. A handpicked regiment of marksmen under General William Maxwell laid an ambush in the surrounding cover.<\/p>\n

Over the ensuing battle, several British and Hessian charges were repelled, but the Americans soon depleted their ammunition and called a retreat. The property was taken by the British, and several buildings were burned. In the British gained control of the Delaware Colony. William Penn was given the deed by the Duke of York, and from to it was governed under Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n

In the Lower Counties, which included Delaware Colony petitioned for independent colonial legislature. Despite being granted its request, the Delaware Colony continued to share Pennsylvania’s governor until In the Delaware Colony’s assembly voted to break ties with Pennsylvania and with England as well, essentially declaring its independence in a document signed by representatives from all 13 colonies. It joined in the rebellion against Great Britain, along with the other 12 colonies, and laid the groundwork to becoming a U.<\/p>\n

The Delaware Colony was the first of the original 13 colonies to ratify the federal Constitution. The Delaware Colony became a state on December 7 th , Representatives are elected to two-year terms, while senators are elected to four-year terms.

The Court of Chancery and the Delaware Supreme Court have developed a worldwide reputation for rendering concise opinions concerning corporate law which generally but not always grant broad discretion to corporate boards of directors and officers. In addition, the Delaware General Corporation Law , which forms the basis of the Courts’ opinions, is widely regarded as giving great flexibility to corporations to manage their affairs.

Each county elects its own legislative body known in New Castle and Sussex counties as County Council , and in Kent County as Levy Court , which deal primarily in zoning and development issues.<\/p>\n

Most functions which are handled on a county-by-county basis in other states\u2014such as court and law enforcement\u2014have been centralized in Delaware, leading to a significant concentration of power in the Delaware state government. The counties were historically divided into hundreds , which were used as tax reporting and voting districts until the s, but now serve no administrative role, their only current official legal use being in real estate title descriptions.<\/p>\n

The Democratic Party holds a plurality of registrations in Delaware. Currently, Democrats hold all positions of authority in Delaware, as well as majorities in the state Senate and House. The Democrats have held the governorship since , having won the last seven gubernatorial elections. Democrats presently hold all the nine statewide elected offices, while the Republicans last won any statewide offices in , State Auditor and State Treasurer.<\/p>\n

During the second half of the 20th century, Delaware was a bellwether state, voting for the winner of every presidential election from through In , , , and , the Republican presidential candidate carried both Kent and Sussex but lost by double digits each time in New Castle County, which was a large enough margin to tip the state to the Democrats.<\/p>\n

New Castle County also elects a substantial majority of the state legislature; 27 of the 41 state house districts and 14 of the 21 state senate districts are based in New Castle County. In a study, Delaware was ranked as the 18th hardest state for citizens to vote in.
