	Delaware Colony - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Possession of the "three counties" of Delaware was disputed between the colonies of New York and Maryland.
		The area now known as "Delaware" had no official name before 1776; it was administered by the proprietors of Pennsylvania as part of their jurisdiction, even though it had a separate local assembly and courts.
		In contemporary documents from the early Revolutionary period, the area is generally referred to as "The Three Lower Counties on [the] Delaware [River]" (Lower Counties on Delaware) or by the names of the three counties.

		In 1993, the poverty gap between Appalachian counties and counties in the remainder of the U.S. was one percentage point, and by 1995 it had declined to just under one percentage point.
		Likewise, counties are jointly grouped according to their relative levels of total poverty in 1993 and their relative change in poverty rates between 1993 and 1995.
		Pennsylvania, New York, and Georgia had a significant number of counties with lower than average poverty rates in 1989, but many of these counties increased their poverty rates at a rate greater than the national average of 5.8 percent for the period, and therefore were labeled Worrisome (dark gray).

	Delaware Chapter XII
		Some of those in the lower counties who had formerly acted with Judge Guest, hearing that Evans had been removed, and knowing his partiality for the territories, supposed that he would gladly assume the head of their government if they could be entirely separated from the province.
		The elections in the lower counties for 1756 resulted in favor of William Golden and Robert Morrison for sheriff and coroner of New Castle County, Caesar Rodney and Matthias Crozier for Kent, and John Rodney and Wrixam Lewis for Sussex.
		From this it appears that the lower counties organized a force of over two thousand troops.(4*) In 1757 the same zeal was continued, the Assembly passing acts for striking bills of credit to the amount of four thousand pounds for His Majesty’s use, for punishing desertions and mutiny in the army.

	Evaluation of Postcensal County Estimates for the 1980s
		Counties where this groups was used in the estimates also had a MAPE which was notably lower than that for the counties not using that group of variables.
		The county estimates we are evaluating here had a rather different element of professional judgement applied to them, in that the methods and variables (for Ratio-Correlation estimates) used for the counties in particular states were determined with the aid of judgement of the Census Bureau staff involved in producing the estimates.
		The errors of county estimates are affected heavily by the population size of the county.

	Rural Texas In Transition
		Among counties with relatively desirable natural amenities, the highest population and employment growth was recorded by those near large population centers, with their better access to jobs, education and other non-natural resources.
		Counties adjacent to the largest metro areas, however, performed considerably better than even metro counties; counties outside of Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, Austin, Fort Worth and El Paso saw their average unemployment rates fall by 1.6 percent between 1990 and 1999, from 5.4 percent to 3.8 percent.
		Breaking down the adjacent counties into those next to the big six cities and those next to smaller metro areas reveals, however, that the real income growth was higher than the non-adjacent counties for the big metros but lower for the counties surrounding small metros.

		Even at first glance, they saw the median income of the people in counties using punchcard machines was higher than the median income of people in counties using other voting equipment, including new technologies like electronic machines or optical scanners.
		The percentage of minorities in counties using punchcards was 12.5, lower than the percentage of minorities in counties using the newer equipment.
		Looking back, the researchers discovered that richer counties had upgraded their voting technology about 30 or 40 years ago, while poorer counties held on to their old-fashioned paper ballots until more recently, when their upgrades led to adoption of newer equipment like optical scanners or electronic machines.

		The individual counties were called New Castle, Kent (formerly St. Jones), and Sussex (formerly Hoornkill, also known as Whorekill, and Deale).
		The inhabitants of the Delaware counties were at first unwilling to be joined to the "radical" Quaker colony of Pennsylvania or to have their affairs settled in Philadelphia.
		They finally accepted the Penn charter of 1701 after provisions were added giving the Three Lower Counties the right to a separate assembly, which first met in 1704.

	Ebenezer Emmons, 1799-1863. Geological Report of the Midland Counties of North Carolina
		Notwithstanding the general flatness of the lower country, the Neuse, near Smithfield, has sufficient fall to create a good mill-site, and numerous living streams, rising in the rolling hills composed of sand, furnish many small mill-sites which are of considerable importance to the country.
		The lower division is composed of sandstone, limestone, slate, shale and gray sandstones.
		The upper beds of lower silurian are also highly fossiliferous, and of peculiar kinds; and as they neither occur in them, and as the sandstones and shales appear to have no existence in the slate, it seems too great an assumption to regard the North-Carolina slates and quartzites as lower silurian.
