Fascinating! I love geography trivia and thought I knew about most U.S. enclaves and exclaves, but this was totally new information to me. Thanks for sharing 😊
It's interesting how land dredged from the Delaware and placed on the Jersey side becomes Delaware, but when it comes to New York and New Jersey the way they settled it was that any land above water belongs to New York and any below belongs to New Jersey. In that agreement, water levels and newly surfaced land follows a different principle that still follows what lies above and below the water's surface.
Wait wait wait. So now here's a funny technicality. Because of the fact that marjiuana is not technically legal in NJ and the Pennsville Police enforce NJ state law, that means that Marijuana is de facto legal in two parts of Deleware?

I’ve notice those funny bits of Delaware on our side of the river, but never knew the story. Thanks for explaining it!

Mr. New Jersey- how big is Deleware's parcel of land located next to pennsville nj?

I always knew about the land that was Delaware’s, but never the reason behind it. Very interesting.
