Last week, Redditors from the First State flocked to r/Delaware to share some of their favorite pieces of Delaware trivia.
Posted by user DeviatedNorm, the thread has garnered 74 comments to date — an unusually high count for the 3,791-member subreddit. Here are five of our favorite facts about Delaware from the thread:
- The only U.S. state with a rounded border (explained here).
- The only U.S. state wherein legislators can make amendments to the state constitution without popular vote.
- The state is home to one single cave (Beaver Valley Rock Shelter Site), which was only discovered in 1958.
- Rated the third-best state in the country for bike-friendliness.
- The skull of one of the “most barbarous and amoral women in American history” was kept at Dover Public Library until recently (as of 2013, it’s at the Smithsonian).
