The colony of Delaware split off from Pennsylvania. Geographically, it had been shut off from the rest of the colony. Because of this, future-Delaware's inhabitants had very little say in Pennsylvania's representative government. They decided that it would be best that they simply establish their own government, so they became Delaware.
