Delaware Colony was once the lower county of Pennsylvania. Initially, it was part of the territory granted to William Penn, who established Pennsylvania. In 1704, Delaware gained its own assembly and began to operate separately while still remaining under the governance of Pennsylvania until the American Revolution. This unique status contributed to Delaware's eventual path toward becoming a separate colony.
It was a proprietary colony until the American Revolution was finished.
Delaware became its own colony in 1704 when it was separated from Pennsylvania. Although it was originally part of the Pennsylvania colony, Delaware had its own assembly and governance, effectively functioning as a distinct entity. The official status as a separate colony was solidified when it received permission to create its own legislature.
