Delaware - The US Explained

- Опубліковано 18 чер 2024
- Delaware. It’s the second smallest state in the US, the 6th most densely populated, and was the first to ratify the US Constitution. Though small, Delaware is a fascinating state, and will be the first place I will cover in this 56 part series on every state, territory, and federal district in the United States.

Not mentioning our lack of sales tax feels like a glaring omission. We get a lot of people from Maryland, PA, NY, and NJ that will shop here.
I remember my cousin father in law went to Delaware just to buy hell of a lot of booze lol.
I mean NJ has no clothes sales tax
@@wiva4707 We still get a lot of people from Jersey on the weekends.
Must of them suck!
@@themeapster5974 now we all go to maryland cause its cheaper
Who else is watching this from Delaware
Greenville area... in the mix of the Dupont family, where they have Point to Point yearly and near Longwood Gardens! Also, I live right up the road from Joe Biden. Gorgeous area... surrounded by trees and hills.
from sussex!
I'm in Newark
I am watching from kerala india only for joe biden
Born and raised in Delaware, though I live in Texas now. From the second smallest state to the second largest!
I subscribed Geography Now when Barb was still on A countries and he had like 30-40k subscribers as far as I remember. Now he has 2.4 Million subs. You can make a great impact to your channel with this series. So good luck with your journey of 50 states and more :)
Thank you!
Yes geography now is one of my favorite UA-cam channels and now this one too 👍

I really hope the Delaware delegate who signed the constitution had the foresight to scribble “First!” like a good UA-cam commenter.
Lol! There were 5 of 'em, so I imagine the infighting was intense.
Is that Delaware humor?
I am a Delawarean and I thought this was so fascinating!!!!!! Can't wait for the other ones!! Great job, especially discussing our close alignment with Philly; we're basically a suburb.
GO Eagles!!!
Fun Fact: Rhode Island is the Providence Metropolitan Area.
Not just that, the Providence Metro Area includes all of Rhode Island plus part of Massachusetts lmao
@@Mahoot so, technically, Providence has a higher population than Rhode Island😳
@@ayeeeeeeee6240 New York metropolitan area has more people than people than New York state
@@life-destroyerofworlds7036 that’s true
@@ayeeeeeeee6240 Westerly and Block Island aren’t included in metro Providence
I like how you talk about it in the context of the surrounding states as well, it makes it so much more interesting than a video purely about one state and nothing else.
Yes, I agree! With the geography and size of Delaware it would be difficult *not* to talk about the neighboring states 😂 but this approach adds great context, so I hope it’s continued for future states.
One suggestion, though: in the “zooming around the map” segments, it would be helpful to show the state border so we can follow along better.
Looking forward to the many other vids to come in this series 👍
I agree so much
Let’s go Delaware!!! Born in Wilmington, lived in Rehoboth for a decade, now a South Floridian!
Chilling with the cubanos
A lot of information here. Didn't knew about the swedish settlers in America.
You did a great job, keep going, congratulations from Portugal 🇵🇹
Me neither. I knew about the Dutch settlers (New York was Nieuw Amsterdam) but never heard about the Swedish.
This, is Delaware. And that, is interesting. Gonna be a great series
Spotted

I am so hyped for this series
Me too, i also hope the quality of the videos improve over the time
Same
Let be honest, we’re all hyped for our home state.
I can guess you all Americans are.
If this series was about Europe, I'd be looking forward to see the video about Italy.
As european, I really don't know what US State would be the best to live there.
Any suggestion?
@@alessioartioli3323 depends on what you would be looking for.
@@masonlynch1793 true that! The same is for Europe.
@@alessioartioli3323 you don't want to live in Oklahoma
@@thefallenkingdom9 why? btw i heard half of the US states are full of violence. is oklahoma one of them?
The Korean peninsula and the Delaware Bay are the only places horseshoe crabs will lay their eggs. The blood of horseshoe crabs is collected and used as dye for MRIs. Menhadden fish collected in the bay is used to make fish oil.
Delaware... Starting off strong.
I Hope You’re Joking
I like how you incorporate many different aspects of American history, society and economy, all in 14 minutes!
Thanks!
Anytime our home state is mentioned it’s a huge deal for us Delawareans. Good job covering our tiny state, with all of the election hype centering on Wilmington lately I feel like this video couldn’t have come at a better time! Looking forward to the rest of the series. Fun fact about Delaware: it’s where Capriottis got its start and the Bobbie is our de facto state sandwich.
Ikr? Honestly anytime someone mentions us, it's surprising to me. Even if the info is bad, I always gotta let others know" Oh my gad, I'm from Delaware!".
I’m Canadian .. and once the 🇨🇦🇺🇸 border reopens I hope to make delightful Delaware one of my priority destinations.
We appreciate it fam, but there isn’t shit here other than beaches over the summer 😂 Go to Philly.
If Delaware is a prime location then everywhere else in the U.S. most be an extra prime location to visit for you
I wonder why I keep on seeing Quebec license plates here...
@@ladasodaexplains3355 I always seen Canadian plates everywhere my whole life. They travel just like the Brits and Chinese.
@@ladasodaexplains3355 I’m in Vancouver, British Columbia.
Delaware is probably one of the states I know least about, so this was interesting!
Being a DE native, it is the state I know most about lol
Come by and learn some more, we dont have sales tax 😉
@@forgetful9845 Same with my state of Oregon! ;)
Totally boring state
Me too, until recently as I am considering a move to DE! I like it so far...
Glad Seaford got a shout out. My home town. Both my parents, my brother and I along with my wife and 2 kids were all born here.
Best Regards.
I couldn’t believe when he said it! Hahaha.
Mee tooo
Love this! Can’t wait for the rest of the series!
I believe the curved border with Pennsylvania is based on a arc drawn to be 12 miles from the cupola of the New Castle old courthouse.
I added this exact comment before I saw yours.Very good
I grew up 1 1/2 blocks from the courthouse, my mother worked in there in a rented office. In a graveyard at the other side of the green the courthouse is on, are three signers of the Declaration of Independence.
Fun fact the 12 mile circle from new castle didn’t quite reach the border of Maryland and created a 1 square mile wedge of disputed land between the PA/MD/DE borders called “the wedge” that was unaccounted for due to inaccuracy of old maps
Delaware gang where you at? I’m from Delaware and frankly I’m pretty happy to see my state get some recognition. 😂
Fax Delaware isn’t even that boring it’s just so small so it’s not recognized. I live in Middletown hbu?
Wilmington native here! Happy to see Delaware get some recognition too😁
@@laurenzim96 Very cool! Some of my family lives there. I live in Long Neck.
@@saxtonfilm6138 I'm from bear
@@laurenzim96 Wilmington has bad parts and good parts I just don't like citys because you can easily get shot I like wilmington tho😅
Great idea for a series! Looking forward to the rest of it!
Well done and really great footage. I’m looking forward to the series.
I am very proud to be, born and raised in Wilmington Delaware!!!
Me too!!
Proud to be from Middletown!
I’m just Delaware
Same!!
Me too! I live on a boat on the Chesapeake Bay now, but I was Delaware born and raised and when people ask me where I live, I still immediately say Delaware without even thinking about it.
Very cool video about my home state. Also, thank you for pronouncing the town that has the University of Delaware as "New-ark". 😀
not newerk
It's NewArk ..
Hey-- I'm in love with your state. Like... Literally.
Dude I am so stoked for this series
What a great channel. Working my way back to earlier videos and so glad to see UA-cam channel that is really straight up informative, a direct contribution to the universal encyclopedia at everyone's finger tips, where simple adherence to facts matters. Great work!
So glad to see this and the next one. Born in Chester, Pa (just outside Philly) lived in Northern DE for 20 years and now I live in AZ, state 48. I’ll be waiting a while for the that one lol.
Yes! I was looking forward to this series! I guess I subscribed at the right time, haha. You’re super underrated and make awesome and interesting videos! I’ll be lookin’ out for the Illinois episode. :D
Awesome video. love this series can't wait for the rest
Amazing! Thank you for this. Looking forward to following the series and learning more about the US!
Born in Delaware, lived there 46 years in New Castle County. Moved to the space coast of Florida 3 years ago. The county I live in now is about the size of the entire state of DE. Lots of history in DE, close to several large cities. I do miss the topography, hiking and the seasons. DE is far enough inland (Although do you have Atlantic beaches) that you really don't have major hurricane threats.Spring and fall are quite pleasant in that area!!
Thank you so much for the piece that you just did on Delaware!! Not only is it my home state but Wilmington is my hometown too. I’m quite proud to be from Delaware and I’m even prouder to say that I’m a second-generation Delawarean and a second-generation Wilmingtonian too. Your piece really did a great job but I really wish it was at least half an hour long instead. Once you are done with your compilation, would you ever consider piecing it all together into one long documentary or would you ever also make it available for purchase on a DVD or some other type of format? I’d really appreciate it. Once again, I think you did an overall very good job. I can’t wait to watch the other installments.
Thank you so much! I'll have to see how to get it on a DVD but that sounds like a great idea. For now, I'll have the whole series on a playlist on UA-cam.
Hello 👋
You look so beautiful and charming on your profile picture Lol:🌹
Excited for the new series!!!
that's a lot of work you put in this channel. Thank you so much!
This promising series is starting off amazingly. Well done! Might I suggest a tiny addendum in the topic of "Notable Persons" associated with each particular state? For instance, your NJ subs might appreciate your mentioning Bruce Springsteen when you do their state (whether he was born there or not). Had you done so here, Not only would you have mentioned Joe Biden (born in PA as you are undoubtedly aware), but also: Aubrey Plaza, Elizabeth Shue, Judge Reinhold, George Thorogood (& Delaware Destroyers), Elena Delle Donne (2015 WNBA MVP), Henry Heimlich (the Heimlich Maneuver), Valerie Bertinelli, &CE... Great job. I won't miss a single video! 👍
I am so excited for this series! Can't wait til you get to my home state, Kentucky. I really do appreciate your knowledge on geography, I've always been into it myself and thought I was the only one 👍😀
Well done video man, it was informative and held my interest. I’ll subscribe to see the rest of the series. Keep doing what you’re doing.
Good information. I’m a proud Delawarean and am happy to have an informative and entertaining video about my state. That was interesting!
No other state beside Vermont spends more on its citizens than Delaware when measured by per capita distribution. However Delaware knows how to find its sources of income without taxing its citizens. The state department of transportation is funded entirely by vehicle fees and tolls on interstate 95 (The JFKennedy Turnpike) and state routes 1 and US route 301. No general funds pay for transportation projects. The general fund pays 97 percent of each students education (while local property taxes pay the other 3 percent). One third of the states income is from individual income tax, one third from gambling, and one third from corporations who have chosen Delaware to register. Delaware has a reputation for being very corporate board friendly, a tax haven for multinational business, and an extremely knowledgeable judiciary.
A very nice depiction of my state! Shout out from Lewes, "The First Town in the First State!"
Oh
Shout out from Wilmington, where we are always trying not to get shot
Keep these coming! Thank you.
Thank you so much for this informative video. We are learning about each of the fifty states this homeschool year and these videos will be a weekly help!
I do not live in Delaware myself, but in Florida. But for some reason there’s always one place I wanted to go: Delaware. Everyone in my family wonders why. But I’ve just always been so interested in that state. And I think it’s a nice state, even though a lot of people say there’s nothing there.
We have tons here or close by. You could get a nice hotel room in Wilmington and go like 4-5 different places that are roughly 2 hours (or less) away. Baltimore, DC, the beaches, Philly, NYC for the day and save tons of money on a room. Take the train to the cities, the bus or drive to the beach. We are so close to everything, a lot of us take day trips to the Poconos to go skiing in the winter or the water parks in the summer for the day
Morgan Murphy yeah I would take the trains cause I LIKE TRAINS
Delaware’s northern region with its gently rolling hills and temperate mid-Atlantic climate can be quite beautiful, especially with the turning of the seasons.
Who tells you that is because they don’t know how to travel.
This was awesome. Being from Florida I love learning about other states!
Just moved to Florida from Delaware!
Come back Josh 🤣🤣🤣
@@jricks2487 why did you move?
i wanna move to florida so bad, im tired of delaware
@@vincentgiasullo ive lived in delaware from florida for 5 years, it doesnt feel that different. there just cold
Thank you for sharing. Nicely done🎬
This IS interesting! I live in Delaware and learned a few things from your video. Good job!
From the William V Roth Jnr Bridge you can literally see across the whole state of Delaware from the Maryland border to the Delaware River.
Only in the north, though. The state gets wider as you go south.
As someone who grew up a few miles from the Delaware border (in Pennsylvania), has relatives that live in Delaware, served in an Army Reserve unit in Delaware and whose mother worked in Delaware I have to say you did a really good job going over the state. (I would have mentioned the resort towns and the NASCAR track, though.) Great start I subscribed can’t wait to see the whole series! I look forward to seeing Pennsylvania the state I grew up in next and eventually getting to other states I’ve lived in including Florida where I live now!
I’m a Delawarean, newly turned Floridian!
He mentions Rehoboth and Bethany Beach, but I didn’t catch anything on the Dover Speedway. I’ve been stuck in traffic at the Chesapeake Bay Bridge after a race.
Chester or philly?
I could have watched for another hour or two, great content :)
absolutely bravo on the video's iv'e watched all 4 so far please keep this going
I never knew about the Swedish colony. That is interesting! Looking forward to future episodes.
Go to the historic New Castle and you will see tons of Dutch, Swedish and British flags everywhere.
AMAZING!!! This really helped my classmates and I!
Looking forward to this
It's a long ways away from your Wisconsin episode but I'll gladly wait. Keep up the great work
Nice video! I live near Wilmington, DE! I love making similar types of videos too! Keep up the great work!
Very good video. For someone who has an American accent you speak very well, clearly, slowly and easy to understand, calm and quiet with no shouting or screeching like so many Americans do on UA-cam. I really like your videos and this series will be very enjoyable. Thank you for posting
Good job. I live in New York now but I grew up in Southern Jersey. So I can't wait to hear what you've got on the Garden State.
This is a a great channel!
Got my subscribe
Clearly those who helped you did a good job, as did you in putting this together. You really captured the essence of Delaware in a way that a resident can find no fault with. Such is not usually true for other similar types of efforts. As someone else said, saying “New Ark” instead of “Newurk” was just the type of detail that made this great.
If you were to expand this at a later date, I second the suggestion about how the state got the circular arc at the top. And the formation of the state boundary line with Maryland is interesting; it literally is the eastern portion of the Mason-Dixon Line. As I understand it, Mason and Dixon were hired to survey the border, separating William Penn’s land from that of George Calvert (the 1st Lord Baltimore). The western portion, of course, separates Pennsylvania and Maryland. And I’ve heard that Penn and Delaware got the benefit of an error they made - the southern border ought to have been somewhere around the town of Lewes (the location of the Swaanendael museum) near Cape Henlopen, but was made several miles lower to include what is now Bethany Beach and Fenwick Island!
Can’t wait for the rest of the series. I trust it will be excellently done!
"The Simpsons are going to Delaware!"
"I want to see Wilmington!"
"I want to see a screen door factory!"
wow
This will be the last season 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
They got that wrong, the screen door factory was in Maryland.
I love this video, and I did learn a lot. I'll have to watch it again.
Delaware native here: I would not say the Wilmington suburbs extend to the C/D canal or Philly, those are different towns entirely, Bear and Claymont respectively. But as other comments note, DE always love hearing DE get talked about!
The next state is Pennsylvania! If you're from Pennsylvania, go reply to my community post and let me know what you'd like to see included in the video! I also made a Discord server where you can help give info for your home state - discord.gg/TMptJaax
Please mention that Pennsylvania have been pretty consistent in population compared to new york
I like your channel dude , I saw this morning episode about salton sea, now they call it METH CITY
Looking forward to Pennsylvania's Amish history.
Don’t forget Scranton and the northeast pa
Don't forget Pittsburgh history!
Also home to the Underground Railroad, Golden Fleece Tavern on the Green and the largest mortuary in North America at the Dover air base.
I got lost many years ago on a back road coming from Dover, to georgetown..ended up on I think route 10, in Md, of all places..it was a beautiful drive and I love getting lost so didnt mind that I was on hour 3 of a 45 minute drive..I knew I'd get home eventually..but..on the road, I kept seeing signs of either, Mason Dixon, or Harriet Tubman n Underground railroad..I believe it was heading me towards museums or perhaps some of the homes used to hide slaves, but as it was getting dark, I headed homeward and have yet to find that road again..its been well over 20 years..sure would love to tho..
@@cherbear1996 Those houses go from the Leipsic area west and south into Maryland. There are lots of places along that route but definitely start near Leipsic.
Good job Carter I've recently start watching your channels and I like your videos can't wait to see each state as well as my home state of Louisiana!
This was great!
Greetings to Delaware from the people across the river.
Delaware is definitely an interesting little state. Thanks for the video!
Thanks for covering my state! We often get forgotten😅 Much love, from Dover.
I like this channel , this information is excellent ornately done & very educational . Subscribed
Well done guy!
I'm from Modena, Italy (44yo), and I love geography, hystory and social-cultural feautres. I know pretty good the European situation and since a few weeks I'm trying and konw better the US, which to my European eyes seems to be pretty bizzare.
Go on with your videos and thanks for posting!
Italians have a long history in both Wilmington and New Castle Delaware
@@povking1460 I didn't know this. I know there are a lot of italians (well, american-italians I mean) in the US and I know most of them live in the East Coast, so being Delaware there this male sense. As long as I know, New York and New Jersey are the two States with most american-italians. But I could be wrong, not sure 100%
@@alessioartioli3323 Many Italians came to work here in the steel mills, ship building, and coal mining industries. We had heavy industry in Wilmington, Claymont, and New Castle until the late 20th century. No coal mines but they were close by in PA, VA, WVA states. Also we had a significant fishery here for a long time. Most areas have deindustrialized and reclaimed the land for residential and recreational use.
@@alessioartioli3323 From what I've read many Europeans came around the turn of the 20th century do to economic hardship and political strife. Half of my family came from Ireland and Germany during that time period.
Also we had a large Catholic population that also contributed.
Hi, I'm a Brit living in Belgium. I really enjoyed this interesting video - thanks!
Lol, random info.
This little state is so fascinating. 😍
Thank you for this video
Hello 👋
You look so beautiful and charming on your profile picture Lol:🌺
Very thorough: thanks!
That's what I was thinking, very interesting. I have family history starting in PA, living in pittsburgh. I'm interested in the history of the 3 rivers and how they helped the state. Thx
That Is Interesting, Just to give you some info on Maryland, one of the border counties with Delaware, Wicomico County, has a prominent poultry industry like Sussex County. There’s actually a Perdue factory not to far from the city of Salisbury. Don’t quote me on it because I’m not 100% sure, but I think that that factory supplies the feed for the chickens in Wicomico County. Our county is named after the Wicomico River, which runs through the city of Salisbury.
Good job on your channel so far. A suggestion though would be to add some sound dampening like foam on the walls of the room you record audio in.
I love living in Delaware, it’s beautiful and being where we r, great mix of cultures, of course no major sports teams, but many options, great high schools, with some of the sports teams being national ranked very high, and the school I attend which was the first fully NJROTC high school in the nation, Delaware Military Academy (DMA)
Only one Native American was killed in Delaware history and it was because the husband of the mans wife he was cheating with became angry at the time of discovery. Native Americans were not forced from their dwellings and grounds as William Penn signed treaties with them and they remained legal residents. That didn't stop their massacre in western Pennsylvania but Delaware is still home to the Nanticoke and the Lenni Lenape. The Nanticoke own large tracts of land in and around the Indian River Bay and own most of the land the town of Dewey Beach rests upon.
Nice job on the film, I live in Fenwick Island DE, your video was thorough and accurate...
I heard “56 part series” and immediately subscribed, I am excited
god yes
My brother lives in Seaford, in the south.
I live in Seaford. It’s a shit hole but you can get nice place for $1,000 a month that would cost a lot more in any other town.
@@masteryoutuber8783 if you think Seaford is a shit hole, you need to travel your country more.
So they share an island with NJ? They should just give it to me
two actually. Not that they are buildable being made of spoils fro dredging.
Is this some kind of joke?
@@tjohnson2139 the part about them giving them to Kim Jong-un, yes that is a joke. The part about Delaware sharing shore line with NJ, no that is true.
Thanks! That was cool!!
I love your video and am happy that Delaware isn’t a footnote as in all other videos and television shows I’ve seen on the U.S.
Because of the pandemic, Returns Day was a low key affair. In Sussex County's countyseat, Georgetown, the town celebrates the election results every other year. The losing candidate sits in the front seat if the horse drawn carriage while the winner sits in the backseat. They ride in the same carriage facing each other. Once they arrive at the town circle, they proceed to the chopping block. Both candidates grab the ax handle and together they lower the blade into the wooden block. Hence, they burry the hatchet. The town celebration begins with great oxen BBQ and beverages. Until modern times, the citizens would have to travel to the countyseat every other year to vote. The countyseat used to be at Lewes (pronounced loo-IS). The citizens would travel on foot or by horse through the mud, some as far away as Laurel and Seaford. The countyseat was relocated to the center of the county and named after the architect who drew up the towns lots and streets. His first name was George. Back then, citizens would stick around after the first Tuesday in November to wait for the results to be counted. 2 days later the election returns were read out loud. Today Returns Day is still a huge celebration.
Have been to returns day many times as I'm only about 6 miles from the circle..great of you to share that tidbit with folks👍✌😊
I just recently designed a new flag for Delaware (my home state) taking Swedish influence. Great to see this series!
What is the flag?
@@jjsdumbshit2792 It is a nordic cross using the blue from Sweden's flag and the 'buff' color from Delaware's. On the cross I used a diamond shape like the one on our flag because I like it and we are the "diamond state" in addition to being the first state. Then there's a blue star in that diamond. It's a simplistic, but recognizable design, as many good flags are.
I enjoyed watching this video. I am a Kenyan and I hope to visit Delaware DE one day.
Awesome video! Can’t wait for Tennessee
This was a good video. I don’t know the ultimate direction you’re going with the whole series, but the one thing I feel you should have talked about but didn’t was the ecological importance of the Delaware wetlands and bird migrations.
Def should’ve talked about the birds. Migrating from places like the Amazon to Newark.
Linking it to the horseshoe crab eggs. Neat stuff.
I grew up in Newcastle Delaware 😁
That was nicely done. But I think the real test will be when I find out how you cover my home state. :) Looking forward to seeing your other videos.
I was stationed at Dover AFB back in the 1980s and I liked Delaware. The beaches were close by and Philly, Baltimore and DC were all less than 100 miles away. Yet Dover was a small town and there were no interstates other than I-95 up by Wilmington so it had a nice rural feel.
As someone who grew up on the Eastern Shore of Maryland (the Delmarva Peninsula)...I am SHOOK by learning of the waterway that cuts across the Northern part of Delaware and the Maryland Eastern Shore that ships use to get to Baltimore from Philadelphia. I had NO idea that was there. Also, doesn't that make the Peninsula an island? I feel so confused now lol.
If you ever visit DE, Hagley is the place EI DuPont started. It's actually very close to where Biden lives, within a 5 minute drive from his home. Also Kudos on pronouncing Newark correctly. I actually live 5 minutes from Biden's home as well!
Two years later, and my suggestion was spot on. You sold me the moment you said you'd discuss all fifty-SIX entities. Let's get me caught up.
Dope. I'm going to watch all 56
As I was watching this. You should have mention nature and the beaches of Delaware- Cape Henoplen State Park in Lewes and Bethany Beach.
He showed alot of pictures of them
