Delmarva Peninsula Halal Travel Guide

Delmarva is often considered to begin at the C&D Canal, which serves as Delaware's internal Mason-Dixon Line, separating the Northern metropolis of Wilmington from the rest of the state. Delmarva was largely isolated from the rest of Maryland until the construction of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge in 1952. As a result, values tend to be conservative and closely related to Virginia, as opposed to the Western portion of Maryland, which is perceived by local residents as more liberal. For this reason, many residents take offense being compared to Marylanders from across the Chesapeake Bay Bridge. For tourists coming from the South (United States of America) | South, be aware that many, if not most, residents of the peninsula consider themselves Southerners (Wilmington aside). Delaware and Maryland were border states during the Civil War, while Virginia was seat of the Confederate government in Richmond. Some may jump to the conclusion that Shoremen are racist because they consider themselves Southerners and live in an isolated area. Thit is not true and is generally not true for any other Southern country area either.
