12-Mile Circle


The original Delaware colony was originally chartered to encompass all lands within a 12 mile radius from the center of the courthouse in New Castle excluding land granted to New Jersey, but including the Delaware River. Unfortunately poor measurement of the Mason-Dixon Line cut off part of the circle in MD and left the so called Wedge as not part of Any state.

"the so called Wedge as not part of Any state"

Not true. It belongs to Delaware. See "The Wedge" for more details.
