The Green

This square was laid out in 1717 in accordance with William

Penn's orders of 1683, and has changed little since then.

One of the nation's most historic sights, it was here that

Delaware voted to ratify the U.S. Constitution, making

it the first state to do so. The Green was the site of early

fairs and markets when Dover was the county seat and then

state capital. It now hosts political rallies and public

events such as Old Dover Days in May, when many private homes

and buidings are open to the public. Free.
