The history of the state's economic and industrial development is closely tied to the impact of the Du Pont family, founder of E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company, one of the world’s largest chemical companies. Delaware was one of the 13 original states participating in the American Revolution and on December 7, 1787, became the first to ratify the Constitution of the United States. == General reference == * Names * * Common name: Delaware * * * Pronunciation: 〔''Random House Dictionary''〕 * * Official name: State of Delaware * * Abbreviations and name codes * * * Postal symbol: DE * * * ISO 3166-2 code: US-DE * * * Internet second-level domain: .de.us * * Nicknames * * *Chemical Capital〔 * * *Corporate Capital (due to the state's business-friendly laws)〔 * * * Diamond State (allusion to the state flag)〔 * * * Blue Hen State or Blue Hen Chicken State〔Barry Popik, (Smoky City ), barrypopik.com website, March 27, 2005〕 * * * The First State〔〔(Delaware Code Title 29 Section 318 ) retrieved on February 28, 2011〕 (Delaware was the first state to ratify the Constitution; currently used on license plates) * * *Home of Tax Free Shopping〔 * * *New Sweden〔 * * *Peach State〔(Introduction to Delaware ), 50 States, retrieved April 24, 2009.〕 * * * Small Wonder〔 * * *Uncle Sam's Pocket Handkerchief〔 * Adjectival: Delaware * Demonym: Delawarean 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「Outline of Delaware」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
