The Delmarva Peninsula is a large peninsula on the East
Coast of the United States, occupied by portions of three U.S. states:
Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia. Named as a portmanteau of the letters of
the states that occupy it, it is almost 300 by 100 km or about 180 by 60
miles, and is bordered by the Chesapeake Bay on the west, and the Delaware
River, Delaware Bay, and Atlantic Ocean on the east. |
