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.

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.
