One of the Middle Atlantic states, Delaware is on the East coast of the United States, about midway between Maine and Florida. The state is 2,057 square miles (5,328 square kilometers) in area, including 112 square miles (290 square kilometers) of water surface. Its greatest length, north to south, is 96 miles (155 kilometers). Its greatest width, east to west, is 35 miles (56 kilometers). Delaware is the 49th state in size. Only Rhode Island is smaller. The state is bounded on the east by water--the Atlantic Ocean and the river and bay that separate it from New Jersey's shore. To the south and west is Maryland. Delaware's northern boundary curves into Pennsylvania. This boundary was set in a land grant made to William Penn by the duke of York in 1682. It was to be within a circle with a 12-mile (19-kilometer) radius from the 'end of the horse dyke' at New Castle.
