In Pennsylvania, extensive agriculture and forestry practices were common, particularly in areas with fertile soil and ample woodland. The state's diverse landscape allowed for large-scale dairy, crop production, and timber industries. In contrast, Delaware, being smaller and more urbanized, focused more on commercial and residential development, with less emphasis on extensive agriculture due to its limited land area. Additionally, Pennsylvania also had a significant mining industry, particularly for coal, which was less prevalent in Delaware.
Delaware shares a land border with Maryland and Pennsylvania. New Jersey can be said to be a state surrounding Delaware, but the land borders are separated by water.
Pennsylvania is a land locked state
Pennsylvania is a land locked state and the Atlantic Ocean does not border it.
William Penn was given land from the King. The land he was given and founded would later become the states of Pennsylvania and Delaware.
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.

The proprietors of Delaware were the descendants of the Duke of York, who granted the land to William Penn in 1682, allowing him to govern it as part of Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania itself was founded by William Penn, an English Quaker, who received the land as a royal grant from King Charles II in 1681. Both colonies were characterized by a degree of religious tolerance and attracted a diverse population. Penn's vision for Pennsylvania emphasized democratic principles and peaceful coexistence, influencing its governance and societal structure.
The colony that was originally part of Pennsylvania is Delaware. Initially, it was settled by Swedes in the early 17th century and later became part of the Pennsylvania colony when William Penn received the land in 1682. Delaware operated as a separate colony while still being governed under the framework of Pennsylvania until it declared its independence in 1776. Today, Delaware is known as the first state to ratify the U.S. Constitution.
Pennsylvania was not the 33rd state in the most common sense of the phrase, that is, that it was the 33rd to ratify the Constitution. In that sense, Delaware was the first, and Pennsylvania was the 2nd (and by only 5 days!)However Pennsylvania is the 33rd largest state, in regards to actual land area. This is because there are 32 states larger than Pennsylvania (such as Nebraska, California and Oregon). Before Alaska became the 49th and largest ever state to join the Union in 1959, Pennsylvania would have been the 32nd largest.
