Dover is the capital city of Delaware and the second-largest city in the state. Founded in 1683 as the court town for Kent County, the city was named after Dover in England. Located in the heart of the Delaware Valley, Dover serves as a central hub for government, commerce, and culture in the region.

The city is known for its well-preserved historic district, which includes numerous buildings from the colonial and federal periods. The Green, a central public square dating back to the city's founding, is surrounded by significant historic structures and serves as a reminder of Dover's important role in American history. Dover has developed into a blend of historic charm and modern development, hosting various cultural institutions and events that reflect both its colonial heritage and contemporary growth. The city is also home to Delaware State University, which contributes to its educational and cultural landscape.
