In 1787, Delaware was the first state to join the union and the first state to ratify the US constitution. The state’s discovery is attributed to Henry Hudson, who sailed under the Dutch flag in 1609. However, the state was named after the first governor of Virginia, Lord De La Warr, in 1610. Delaware is the second smallest state in the US but the sixth most densely populated of the fifty US states.
