Best Places to Live in Delaware

Delaware is a small coastal state located on America’s East Coast between Maryland and New Jersey whose colonial settlement predates both those two states combined. Much like Maryland & New Jersey Delaware flourishes off many industries yet nothing beats their corporate capabilities -their business friendly laws make it an ideal hotspot for companies looking for digital privacy making them “The Corporate Capital Of The World” . From places such as Cape Henlopen State Park near Rehoboth Beach –to historic sites such as Fort Christina –Delaware offers something special everyone from beach bums or history buffs alike can appreciate.
