Several Ionian cities joined together in the Delian League for mutual protection against the Persians. They placed Athens at the head (as hegemon) because of her naval supremacy. This free confederation (symmachia) of autonomous cities, founded in 478 B.C., consisted of representatives, an admiral, and treasurers appointed by Athens. It was called the Delian League because its treasury was located at Delos.
Athens ruled the Delian League.
Wars of the Delian League happened in -449.
The city that was the head of the Delian League was Athens, Greece.

No, Sparta was not part of the Delian League. The Delian League was a coalition of Greek city-states led by Athens, formed in 478 BCE to continue the fight against Persia after the Persian Wars. Sparta, on the other hand, was a member of the Peloponnesian League, which was a rival alliance to the Delian League. The two leagues eventually clashed in the Peloponnesian War.
