Dover: US 13 @ BAY RD
Dover occupies a low-lying inland plain in central Delaware. The state capital since 1777, it developed around The Green, the public square laid out when the town was planned in the early 18th century. Legislative Hall remains the seat of Delaware’s General Assembly, while the brick buildings and streets around The Green form the city’s historic core. The St. Jones River passes south of the center on its way to Delaware Bay. Beyond that core, Dover extends along broad commercial corridors, with Dover Air Force Base to the southeast and Dover Motor Speedway north of central Dover. This compact capital is shaped by state government, military activity and its setting on the flat coastal plain.

Dover straddles the St. Jones River on Delaware’s Atlantic Coastal Plain, and its status as the state capital has concentrated public life around its historic centre. The Green, a square dating from 1717, anchors the old town, where the late-18th-century Old State House recalls Delaware’s early political life. Nearby Legislative Hall is home to the Delaware General Assembly, linking the colonial-era streetscape to the work of state government today. The river continues east toward Delaware Bay, while Dover Motor Speedway adds a distinctly modern sporting landmark to the city’s identity.

Built around settlements and commerce on the Delaware River, Delaware grew into a compact Mid-Atlantic state. Its northern edge meets the river and Delaware Bay, while the south, including Sussex County near these coordinates, opens toward Atlantic beaches, salt marshes and low-lying farmland. Dover is the state capital; Wilmington, on the Christina River, is Delaware’s largest city and a long-standing industrial centre. Delaware was the first state to ratify the U.S. Constitution, on 7 December 1787, a distinction reflected in its “First State” nickname. Cape Henlopen, Lewes and Rehoboth Beach underline the importance of the coast to local life.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
