Delaware is not the smallest state, Rhode Island is.

I'm not sure what Delaware is famous for. DuPont money perhaps.

Historically, it was a Delawarean, Caesar Rodney, why cast the final passing vote for the Declaration of Independence. Rodney rode eighty miles through a thunderstorm on the night of July 1, 1776, dramatically arriving in Philadelphia "in his boots and spurs" on July 2, just as the voting was beginning.

A mountain bike would have been faster and then we'd be celebrating the 4th of July on the 3rd.
