The history seems to end 140 years ago.... Rjensen 20:46, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
"The History of Delaware is the story of a small American state, in the middle of the heart of the nation, and yet until recently often isolated and even invisible to outsiders." Is this really how an article should read? -- Mysterius ( talk) 04:30, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
Any interest in creating a Timeline of Delaware article? A few other U.S. states have timelines (see Category:Timelines of states of the United States). Here are some sources:

As of 2017-09-06, this article contained the claim that, "Delaware symbolically ratified the amendment on February 12, 1901–40 years after Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation." Actually, the Emancipation Proclamation was issued in January 1863, which makes this symbolic ratification 38 years and one month after the Emancipation Proclamation. I've changed the text. One could also say, "almost 40 years" rather than "38 years". However, "38 years" is more concise and is to be preferred for that reason, I think. I just changed it to 38 years. DavidMCEddy ( talk)
