This small state is a great place to visit with your Delaware car rental.
Hostile takeover
As you may learn while you are here with your Delaware car rental, the Dutch were the first Europeans to colonize the land here by establishing a trading post in 1631. Within a year, all of the settlers were killed in a dispute with the Native Americans. A few years later, the Swedish set up a trading post here, which lasted until the British removed them from the area.
When the American Revolution broke out, Delaware was initially not very interested in separating from the United States. The citizens had a good relationship with the local government, but the territory was also very dependent on Pennsylvania for its success. Delaware was very hesitant in voting for independence, but once the Declaration of Independence was adopted, Delaware was fully supportive, as you will learn while you are here with your Delaware car rental. Following the American Revolution, Delaware was the first state to accept the new constitution, hence its name as the "First State".
