Mason-Dixon line is one factor on reason why Delaware is so small because during the time of 13 colonies when pennslyvania and Maryland had land disputes king charles sent over charles mason and jeremiah dixon to survey maryland and pennslyvania and when they surveyed they started at the transpeninsualar line (on the atlantic ocean to cheaspeake bay as far from midpoint from Atlantic Ocean) this line was already surveyed before mason and dixon and it separated maryland colony from delaware colony on the delmarva peninsula. when mason and dixon started at beginning point of transpeninsualar line they made a tagent line (a straight line going upwards between maryland and delaware) from there when they got to Newark, Delaware they turned west and made striaght line between pennslyvania and maryland
