Why Delaware's Boundar


The northern boundary line of
Delaware is circular because the
charter given to Penn states that
Pennsylvania was to be "bounded on
The east by the Delaware river from
.welye miles distant north of New
Castle town until the three and
'ortieth degree of north latitude,n
md that the southern boundary was
TO be circle drawn at twelve miles
Instant from the town of New Castle
lorthward and westward until the
'ortieth degree of north latitude and
hen by straight line westward. -"
This makes a circular boundary for
Northern Delaware unavoidable, and
The facts above set forth explain q
geographical curiosity that has
puzzled many students.
