"The First State": Delaware is known by
this nickname due to the fact that on December 7, 1787, it became the
first of the 13 original states to ratify the U.S. Constitution. "The
Diamond State": This nickname was given to Delaware, according to
legend, by Thomas Jefferson because he described Delaware as a "jewel"
among states due to its strategic location on the Eastern Seaboard.
"Blue Hen State": This nickname was given to Delaware after the fighting
Blue Hen Cocks that were carried with the Delaware Revolutionary War
Soldiers for entertainment during Cock fights. "Small Wonder": This
nickname is basically a new nickname. It was given to Delaware due to
its size and the contributions it has made to our country as a whole and
the beauty of Delaware.
