Delaware is known as the "First State"  because on December 7, 1787, Delaware became the first of the original 13 states to ratify the constitution of the United States.  Delaware is also known as a state with no sales tax. 

Mayflower and Atlas Van Line moving migration surveys reported in 2006 that Delaware was one of the top five states with the most inbound relocations.  This is attributed to the growing population of retirees in the beach communities, along with the growing number commuters making a longer drive into Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
