Delaware State in United States

Delaware, the First State to ratify the U.S. Constitution, is rich in historical significance and modern economic strength. With charming colonial towns, tax-friendly policies, and a robust corporate sector, Delaware is home to more than a million registered businesses despite its small size. Its Atlantic beaches and rural landscapes add to its quiet but strategic importance.

Delaware remains one of the few states served entirely by a single area code — 302, which has been in continuous use since 1947. Thanks to a modest population and efficient number allocation, there’s been no need for a split or overlay. Area code 302 connects all of Delaware, from Wilmington and Dover to coastal communities like Rehoboth Beach, making it a model of simplicity in U.S. telecommunications.
