Delaware is bounded to the north by Pennsylvania, to the east by the Delaware
River and the Atlantic Ocean and to the west and south by Maryland. Small
portions of Delaware are also situated on the far, or eastern, side of the
Delaware River Estuary and these small parcels share land boundaries with New
Jersey. The largest city is Wilmington and the capital is
Dover.
The state of Delaware, together with the Eastern Shore counties of Maryland and
two counties of Virginia, form the Delmarva Peninsula, a geographical unit
stretching far down the Mid-Atlantic and into the South Atlantic Coast.
