About Delaware

The story of Delaware

Delaware punches above its weight — the first state to ratify the Constitution and the summer boardwalk capital of Rehoboth.

History & heritage

On December 7, 1787, Delaware became the first state to ratify the U.S. Constitution — earning the enduring First State nickname. With the state motto “Liberty and Independence” and a founding year of 1787, Delaware carries a history you can wear on your chest — that's what our print-on-demand apparel is here for.

Geography & landscape

The second-smallest state stretches along Delaware Bay and the Atlantic, entirely on the flat Coastal Plain. Covering 2,489 sq mi, Delaware lies in the Mid-Atlantic region and runs on Eastern time.

Culture, food and traditions

From tax-free shopping in Wilmington to boardwalk summers in Rehoboth and Bethany, Delaware blends corporate power with small-state charm. From regional flavors like scrapple, crab cakes, Thrasher's fries to festivals such as Firefly Music Festival and Rehoboth Jazz, the culture of Delaware shows up in every collection we design.

Sports, colleges and community

Home teams like Blue Hens, Wilmington Blue Rocks and universities such as University of Delaware, Delaware State anchor communities across the state — and inspire many of our Delaware designs.

Parks, landmarks and wildlife

Landmarks like Rehoboth Boardwalk, Winterthur, Nemours Estate and protected lands such as Cape Henlopen, Bombay Hook, Brandywine Creek give Delaware its outdoor identity. The state animal is the Grey Fox, the state bird is the Blue Hen, and the state tree is the American Holly — all of which show up in our nature and park collections.
