In Delaware, the Board of Pardons and the Board of Parole are separate entities. The Parole Board is a statutory, not a constitutional, body. It exercises discretionary judgment to grant paroles or supervised conditional release from incarceration when statutes permit. If a convicted person breaches one of the conditions of release established by the Parole Board, then the convicted person may be returned to prison to serve out the full sentence. The Board of Pardons has no administrative apparatus and no power to recommit a person.

Occupying the area between northern Delaware and New York, the Lenape were not really a single tribe in 1600 but a set of independent villages and bands. There was no central political authority, and Lenape sachems, at best, controlled only a few villages usually located along the same stream. The three traditional Lenape divisions (Munsee, Unami, and Unalactigo) were based on differences in dialect and location. There was... a common sense of being "Lenape" from a shared system of three matrilineal clans which cut across their village and band organizations. Among the Unami and Unalactigo, the Turtle clan ranked first, followed by the Wolf and Turkey. The Munsee apparently only had Wolf and Turkey.

Wilmington, DE. (PRNewswire, April 22, 1998) Reproductive Associates of Delaware, a Wilmington-based provider of comprehensive infertility services, announces the birth of the first baby conceived through its office-based In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) Program. The baby boy, weighing in at a robust nine pounds two ounces, is doing very well, according to the parents. The couple pursued IVF to achieve a pregnancy due to the mother's fallopian tube blockage. All aspects of the mother's IVF cycle, including egg retrieval, egg fertilization, and embryo implantation, were carried out in Delaware's first office-based full service IVF facility.

"Nearly 30 million digital cameras were sold in the U.S. last year, and summer is the season for family photo-taking," said Beth R. Mulhern, Verizon regional marketing director for consumer products in Delaware. "We're making it easier for families to quickly share digital photos and stay more connected by offering Verizon High Speed Internet service at a special introductory price. Now families can stop struggling with slow dial-up service by getting Verizon broadband with connection speeds up to 20 to 50 times faster for a price that's comparable to, or less than, what they already pay."

Following the American Revolution, statesmen from Delaware were among the leading proponents of a strong central United States government with equal representation for each state. Once the Connecticut Compromise was reached—creating a U.S. Senate and U.S. House of Representatives—the leaders in Delaware were able to easily secure ratification of the U.S. Constitution on December 7, 1787, making Delaware the first state to do so.
