OK, there's a TV programme on tonight that states that Delaware is the only state that doesn't have a National Park.

So...

1. Is this true?
2. If so, why not?
3. How do Delawarians feel about this?
4. Is Delawarians the right word?




Mods: Meant to post this in the History... folder. Please move. Ta!

I think it's a conspiracy and the Boy Scouts are involved Delaware (http://www.scoutsongs.com/lyrics/delaware.htm)

As far as I am aware, Delaware is a state. But I (and others;)) could be wrong.

It does sound like the real conspiracy is about making people believe Delaware is a state!

Everyone knows Pennsylvania was the first to sign off on the Constitution. So why do THEY want us to believe "Delaware" did it first?

So what? It's a small state. It has an Air Force base.

Don't you guys know anything? Delaware is the most evil state in the union (http://corp.delaware.gov/):

More than 850,000 business entities have their legal home in Delaware including more than 50% of all U.S. publicly-traded companies and 63% of the Fortune 500.

So the Federal government managed to not seize some land in one of 50 states, and that's the problem?!?!? :boggled:


Vast swaths of western states were required to cough up land as the price of statehood.

Delaware has extremely corporate-friendly laws. http://www.companiesinc.com/incorporate/delaware.asp
For that reason, many yachts moored in NY are registered in Delaware.

Sounds like an especially nice place to be deprived of.

Not a national park, though, and within the Dept of the Interior, that is a fair to middlin' sized distinction, especially as regards resources.

It sort of amazes me that have the space for a national rec area.
