1 янв 1701 г. - Delaware Colony founded

Описание:

After New Netherland was captured by England in 1664, Delaware had remained part of Maryland. When Pennsylvania was chartered in 1681, William Penn was granted Delaware as well. However, the Pennsylvanians and Delawareans disliked each other, and in 1701 Penn decided to grant the latter their own representative assembly, though they were still controlled by the same governor. The two colonies would continue in this relationship until 1776, when it declared independence from Great Britain.
