The colony of Delaware was originally governed by a series of proprietary owners, primarily the Duke of York and later the Penn family. In 1704, Delaware was granted its own assembly and functioned semi-autonomously under Lord Baltimore's control. However, it remained under the jurisdiction of Pennsylvania until the American Revolution, when it declared independence and became a separate state.
