The state motto also appears on Delaware's state flag (on ribbon at base of the coat of arms): The First State" was designated as Delaware's official nickname in 2002 following a request by Mrs. Anabelle O'Malley's first grade class at Mt.

  5. State song • Our DelawareWritten by George B. HynsonComposed by M. S. Brown • Oh the hills of dear New Castle,and the smiling vales between,When the corn is all in tassel,And the meadowlands are green;Where the cattle crop the clover,And its breath is in the air,While the sun is shining overOur beloved Delaware. • chorus • Where the wheat fields break and billow,In the peaceful land of Kent,Where the toiler seeks his pillow,With the blessings of content;Where the bloom that tints the peaches,Cheeks of merry maidens share,And the woodland chorus preachesA rejoicing Delaware. • chorus • Dear old Sussex visions linger,Of the holly and the pine,Of Henlopens Jeweled finger, • Flashing out across the brine;Of the gardens and the hedges,And the welcome waiting there,For the loyal son that pledgesFaith to good old Delaware. • chorus • chorus • From New Castle's rolling meadows,Through the fair rich fields of Kent,To the Sussex shores hear echoes,Of the pledge we now present;Liberty and Independence,We will guard with loyal care,And hold fast to freedom's presence,In our home state Delaware.

  7. The church was built in 1698-99 in the Swedish colony of New Sweden from local blue granite and Swedish bricks that had been used as ship's ballast. The church was situated on the site of the Fort Christina's burial ground, which dates to 1638. It is claimed that it is the "the nation's oldest church building still standing as originally built". There are reportedly over 15,000 burials in the churchyard. Lutheran Church services were held in the Swedish language well into the 18th century. [4] • The church has housed an Episcopal parish since 1791 and is now part of the Episcopal Diocese of Delaware. An earlier church in New Sweden was built in Swanwyck, near Newcastle about 1662 which was replaced by a combined church and fort at Crane Hook in 1667.[5] • In 1958 the historic Hendrickson House was moved to the grounds of the church. The church building was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1961.[2][6] Trinity Parish operates two church buildings in Wilmington: the main building on North Adams,[7] and Old Swedes at East 7th and Church Streets.

  8. New Castle Court House Museum, also known as New Castle Courthouse Museum, is the center of a circle with a 12-mile radius that defines parts of the border of the states of Delaware and Pennsylvania. It is one of the oldest courthouses in the United States. • It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1972.[2][3] • Contents • [hide] • 1 History • 2 See also • 3 References • 4 External links • [edit] History • The building known today as the "Old Court House" was built in sections during three centuries of colonial and federal government. Prior to the Revolution it served as the meeting house for the governments of the three counties comprising Delaware. For one year (1776–1777) it served as the state house of Delaware. Thence it became the New Castle County courthouse for three centuries. An occasional court held there serves to keep alive the claim that this building is the oldest continuously used chamber of justice in the United States
