Listen up – I’m about to let the world in on a little secret. See, our tiny state is often overlooked because people don’t think of Delaware as anything more than a drive-through state. The truth is, not only is Delaware one of the most underrated states and home to the best city in America, but Delawareans are also the best kind of people you’ll ever meet. Read below to learn why!
- We know how to cook.

- We don’t complain about the weather.

- We enjoy the scenic route.

- We haven’t forgotten our roots.

- We’re easy to please.

- We love our rural side.

- We’re full of holiday spirit.
