Dover, Capital city in Delaware, United States.
Dover spreads across Kent County at 11 meters above sea level, featuring a combination of governmental buildings and residential neighborhoods throughout its layout.
The city originated in 1683 when William Penn issued an order to establish a court town, which later became incorporated as Dover in 1829.
The central area known as The Green contains numerous colonial structures, including the Old State House from 1792 and the former Presbyterian Meeting House Gallery.
Delaware State University and Wesley College provide higher education opportunities, while Dover Air Force Base operates as the main cargo terminal for Air Mobility Command.
The Delaware Agricultural Museum and Village, located north of downtown, presents exhibits of rural life through preserved buildings and agricultural implements.
