Milton was founded and settled in 1763. The town prospered through the mid- to late-nineteenth century largely due to its shipbuilding industry, maritime connections, and milling. Milton is a small, residential town characterized today mostly by its domestic buildings—nearly all wood-framed—primarily from the nineteenth century. The dwellings are built in the Federal, Gothic Revival, Greek Revival, Italianate, and Queen Anne styles. There are also a few early-twentieth century architectural forms including American Foursquares, bungalows, and later ranch-style dwellings represented in the district. However, intermixed with these more defined types are many well-preserved three-bay and five-bay vernacular dwellings representative of those commonly found throughout the state. The district is concentrated along three major streets: Chestnut Street, Federal Street, and Union Street, with seven smaller streets Section 7 page 5 United States Department of the Interior National Park Service / National Register of Historic Places Registration Form NPS Form 10-900 OMB No. 1024-0018 Milton Historic District Sussex, Delaware Name of Property County and State bisecting the mostly north-south streets. The district is divided by the Broadkill River, a catalyst for the town’s development. The amended Milton Historic District is now comprised of 233 properties, including 199 contributing properties and 34 noncontributing properties. This change reflects an increase

Of the several European projects which in the seventeenth century caused the great deportation of people fro1n the Old World to the shores of the New, none was n1ore remarkable than that which was. actively promoted by the Lords States General of Holland. The United Provinces were then the greatest maritime pow·er of the world, and the zeal for fresh discoveries with a growing thirst for extension of trade, sent the ships of the little Dutch republic into all known ports, while unknO"wn marts were keenly sought in the then per­ sistent efforts to find a ne\v passage to· India across the American continent. ·, \Vhile religious motives in some form more or less inspired emigration fron1 most other c0untries, trade was the don1inant purpose of the Dutch, religious propagation and other objects being the resulting and secondary incidents of the primary inspir&tion.

They consist of proclamations, oaths of office, officials' bonds, license returns, commissions, extradition requests, appointments, resignations, accounts, pardons and requests for education for the deaf, blind and mentally retarded. As the role of State government increased, so did the importance and power of the governor and the volume of his records. The records of twentieth-century governors consist primarily of correspondence and subject files, various types of reports, press releases, clipping files, meeting minutes, budgets, invitations, governors' messages, Governor's Task Forces on Reorganization files, photographs, and publications. In some cases, papers of a personal nature may also appear here. The Governor’s Register (RG 1325-000-038) contains appointments and commissions to public offices, letters of resignation, proclamations, executive orders, legislative advisories, pardons and commutations, extraditions and requisitions, senate confirmations and rejections, statements, veto messages, leases and agreements, and inaugural and State of the State addresses.

    DELAWARE- The First State in the Union DELAWARE- The First State in the Union By GEORGE H. RYDEN - d' . � �- ..-....,_.! / - -✓ "/ Published by Delaware Tercentenary Commission Wilmington, Delaware 1938 Copyright 1938 PREFATORY NOTE It was inauguration day in Washington, and the great parade was coming along Pennsylvania Avenue. When the delegation from the State of Delaware was seen to lead the van of state rep­ resentatives, a lady from Virginia was heard to exclain1: "I thought Virginia was the first State in the Union! Was not the :first Eng­ lish settlement in America made at Jamestown, Virginia, in 1607? Why should Delaware be first?" The answer that the perturbed lady received will appear somewhere in this treatise. G. H. R. University of Delaware March 29, 1938 PART I DELAWARE AND THE ANNAPOLIS CONVENTION The failure of the Articles of Confederation to provide for a strong government, establish the credit of the United States on a firm basis, as well as make for freedom of trade and navigation among the several States, became especially apparent after the close of the Revolutionary War. Several attempts were made by the Confederation Congress to secure amendments to the Articles, but, since it was necessary for all the States to ratify an amendment before it could become a part of the fundamental law of the land, no amendments were ever adopted. Always some State legislature would oppose a change. The attitude of the State of Delaware with regard to granting more power to the central government was, however, singularly enlightened and consistent. In the very year of the signing of the treaty of peace, 1783, the General Assembly of Delaware, on June 21, passed an act in response to a resolution of Congress for establishing the credit of the Union, and on the same day it au­ thorized the State's delegates in Congress to ratify a change of part of the eighth article of the Articles of Confederation, which pro­ vided "that all charges of war and all other expenses that have been or shall be incurred for the common defense or general wel- .
