A Deputy of the Duke governed Delaware from 1664 to 1682. When William Penn received his land grant of Pennsylvania in 1681, he received the Delaware area from the Duke of York, and dubbed them "The Three Lower Counties on the Delaware River".
While never incorporated into Pennsylvania, Delaware was under its administration, and although the two established separate assemblies in 1704, they shared the same governor until the Revolutionary War.
