Although called a peninsula, it is technically an island after the digging of the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal. The peninsula is long. In width, it ranges from near its center, to at the isthmus on its northern edge, to less near its southern tip. It is bordered by the Chesapeake Bay on the west, the Delaware River, Delaware Bay, and the Atlantic Ocean on the east, and the Elk River and its isthmus on the north. ==Etymology== In older sources, the peninsula between Delaware Bay and Chesapeake Bay was referred to variously as the Delaware and Chesapeake Peninsula or simply the Chesapeake Peninsula. The toponym ''Delmarva'' is a clipped compound of Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia (abbreviated ''VA''), which in turn was modelled after Delmar, a border town named after two of those states. While Delmar was founded and named in 1859, the earliest uses of the name Delmarva occurred several decades later and appear to have been commercial; for example, the ''Delmarva Heat, Light, and Refrigerating Corp.'' of Chincoteague, Virginia, was in existence by 1913〔''Annual Report of the Secretary of the Commonwealth to the Governor and General Assembly of Virginia for the Year Ending September 30, 1914'' (Richmond, Va., 1915), p. 267.〕—but general use of the term did not occur until the 1920s.〔''See, e.g.'', Michael F. Mulrooney, ''The Delmarva Peninsula'' (Wilmington, Del.?: Hearn Oil Co., 1926): the earliest use of the name in a title, per WorldCat.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Delmarva Peninsula」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
