A Young City with Deep Roots in History
Incorporated in 1994, Newcastle is a relatively new city with a storied past. Before Washington became a state, Newcastle was one of the most successful coal mining towns in northwestern Washington. Nearly 11 million tons of coal was extracted from the area between 1869 and 1963. Coal from Newcastle helped fuel the growth of the entire Puget Sound region. View this page for more about the city's history.
Thirty years after the end of the coal mining era, a movement began toward local government and control. In April 1993, proponents succeeded in passing a ballot measure to establish 4.4 square miles of unincorporated King County into the City of Newport Hills. The city officially incorporated Sept. 30, 1994, as Newport Hills, and after a November 1994 vote, the city's name was changed to Newcastle.
At the time of incorporation, the city's population was about 4,654, according to U.S. Census estimates. According to the Census Bureau's 2015 population estimate, 11,370 people call Newcastle home, and the city continues to grow with record levels of new development. Due to housing market conditions, several high-density residential projects are under construction or are under review. View the Newcastle at a Glance page for additional demographic data.
Newcastle is a peaceful, small residential community located between Bellevue, Renton and Issaquah within the Seattle metropolitan area. Residents enjoy a scenic atmosphere, a short commute to work centers and convenient access to recreation and urban amenities.

Delaware ( DEL-ə-wair)[11] is a state in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeastern region of the United States.[12] It borders Maryland to its south and west, Pennsylvania to its north, New Jersey to its northeast, and the Atlantic Ocean to its east. The state's name derives from the adjacent Delaware Bay, which in turn was named after Thomas West, 3rd Baron De La Warr, an English nobleman and the Colony of Virginia's first colonial-era governor.[13]
Delaware occupies the northeastern portion of the Delmarva Peninsula, and some islands and territory within the Delaware River. It is the 2nd smallest and 6th least populous state, but also the 6th most densely populated. Delaware's most populous city is Wilmington, and the state's capital is Dover, the 2nd most populous city in Delaware. The state is divided into three counties, the fewest number of counties of any of the 50 U.S. states;[b] from north to south, the three counties are: New Castle County, Kent County, and Sussex County. The southern two counties, Kent and Sussex counties, historically have been predominantly agrarian economies. New Castle is more urbanized and is considered part of the Delaware Valley metropolitan statistical area that surrounds and includes Philadelphia, the nation's sixth most populous city. Delaware is considered part of the Southern United States by the U.S. Census Bureau, but the state's geography, culture, and history are a hybrid of the Mid-Atlantic and Northeastern regions of the country.[14]
Before Delaware coastline was explored and developed by Europeans in the 16th century, the state was inhabited by several Native American tribes, including the Lenape in the north and Nanticoke in the south. The state was first colonized by Dutch traders at Zwaanendael, near present-day Lewes, Delaware, in 1631. Delaware was one of the Thirteen Colonies that participated in the American Revolution against Great Britain, which established the United States as an independent nation. On December 7, 1787, Delaware was the first state to ratify the Constitution of the United States, earning it the nickname "The First State".[15]
Since the turn of the 20th century, Delaware has become an onshore corporate haven whose corporate laws are deemed appealing to corporations; over half of all New York Stock Exchange-listed corporations and over three-fifths of the Fortune 500 are legally incorporated in Delaware. Over 90% of all U.S. based companies that went public in 2021 incorporated themselves in Delaware.[16]
Etymology
[edit]
Delaware was named after its location on the Delaware Bay, which in turn derived its name from Thomas West, 3rd Baron De La Warr (1577–1618), the first governor of the Colony of Virginia. The Delaware people, a name used by Europeans for Lenape people Indigenous to the Delaware Valley, also derive their name from the same source.
The name de La Warr was derived from Sussex and is of Anglo-French origin.[17][18] It came probably from a Norman lieu-dit La Guerre. This toponymic likely derived from Latin ager, the Breton gwern or from the Late Latin varectum (fallow). The toponyms Gara, Gare, Gaire, (the sound [ä] often mutated in [æ]) also appear in historical texts cited by Lucien Musset, where the word ga(i)ra means gore. It could also be linked with a patronymic from the Old Norse verr.
History
[edit]
Main article: History of Delaware
Native Americans
[edit]
Before Delaware was settled by European colonists, the present-day state was home to the Eastern Algonquian tribes known as the Unami Lenape, or Delaware, who lived mostly along the coast, and the Nanticoke who occupied much of the southern Delmarva Peninsula. John Smith also shows two Iroquoian tribes, the Kuskarawock and Tockwogh, living north of the Nanticoke—they may have held small portions of land in the western part of the state before migrating across the Chesapeake Bay.[19] The Kuskarawocks were most likely the Tuscarora.
The Unami Lenape in the Delaware Valley were closely related to Munsee Lenape tribes along the Hudson River. They had a settled hunting and agricultural society, and they rapidly became middlemen in an increasingly frantic fur trade with their ancient enemy, the Minqua or Susquehannock. With the loss of their lands on the Delaware River and the destruction of the Minqua by the Iroquois of the Five Nations in the 1670s, the remnants of the Lenape who wished to remain identified as such left the region and moved over the Allegheny Mountains by the mid-18th century. Generally, those who did not relocate out of the state of Delaware were baptized, became Christian and were grouped together with other persons of color in official records and in the minds of their non-Native American neighbors.[citation needed]
Colonial Delaware
[edit]
The Dutch were the first Europeans to settle in present-day Delaware in the middle region by establishing a trading post at Zwaanendael, near the site of Lewes in 1631.[20] Within a year, all the settlers were killed in a dispute with Native American tribes living in the area. In 1638, New Sweden, a Swedish trading post and colony, was established at Fort Christina (now in Wilmington) by Peter Minuit at the head of a group of Swedes, Finns and Dutch. The colony of New Sweden lasted 17 years. In 1651, the Dutch, reinvigorated by the leadership of Peter Stuyvesant, established a fort at present-day New Castle and, in 1655, they conquered the New Sweden colony, annexing it into the Dutch New Netherland.[21][22] Only nine years later, in 1664, the Dutch were conquered by a fleet of English ships by Sir Robert Carr under the direction of James, the Duke of York. Fighting off a prior claim by Cecil Calvert, 2nd Baron Baltimore, Proprietor of Maryland, the Duke passed his somewhat dubious ownership on to William Penn in 1682. Penn strongly desired access to the sea for his Pennsylvania province and leased what then came to be known as the "Lower Counties on the Delaware"[21] from the Duke.
Penn established representative government and briefly combined his two possessions under one General Assembly in 1682. However, by 1704 the province of Pennsylvania had grown so large their representatives wanted to make decisions without the assent of the Lower Counties, and the two groups of representatives began meeting on their own, one at Philadelphia, and the other at New Castle. Penn and his heirs remained proprietors of both and always appointed the same person Governor for their province of Pennsylvania and their territory of the Lower Counties. The fact that Delaware and Pennsylvania shared the same governor was not unique; from 1703 to 1738, New York and New Jersey shared a governor.[23] Massachusetts and New Hampshire also shared a governor for some time.[24]
Dependent in early years on indentured labor, Delaware imported more slaves as the number of English immigrants decreased with better economic conditions in England. The colony became a slave society and cultivated tobacco as a cash crop, although English immigrants continued to arrive.
American Revolution
[edit]
Like the other middle colonies, the Lower Counties on the Delaware initially showed little enthusiasm for a break with Britain. The citizenry had a good relationship with the Proprietary government, and generally were allowed more independence of action in their Colonial Assembly than in other colonies. Merchants at the port of Wilmington had trading ties with the British.
New Castle lawyer Thomas McKean denounced the Stamp Act in the strongest terms, and Kent County native John Dickinson became the "Penman of the Revolution". Anticipating the Declaration of Independence, Patriot leaders Thomas McKean and Caesar Rodney convinced the Colonial Assembly to declare itself separated from British and Pennsylvania rule on June 15, 1776. The person best representing Delaware's majority, George Read, could not bring himself to vote for a Declaration of Independence. Only the dramatic overnight ride of Caesar Rodney gave the delegation the votes needed to cast Delaware's vote for independence.
Initially led by John Haslet, Delaware provided one of the premier regiments in the Continental Army, known as the "Delaware Blues" and nicknamed the "Blue Hen's Chicks". In August 1777 General Sir William Howe led a British army through Delaware on his way to a victory at the Battle of Brandywine and capture of the city of Philadelphia. The only real engagement on Delaware soil was the Battle of Cooch's Bridge, fought on September 3, 1777, at Cooch's Bridge in New Castle County, although there was a minor Loyalist rebellion in 1778.
Following the Battle of Brandywine, Wilmington was occupied by the British, and State President John McKinly was taken prisoner. The British remained in control of the Delaware River for much of the rest of the war, disrupting commerce and providing encouragement to an active Loyalist portion of the population, particularly in Sussex County. Because the British promised slaves of rebels freedom for fighting with them, escaped slaves flocked north to join their lines.[25]
Following the American Revolution, statesmen from Delaware were among the leading proponents of a strong central United States with equal representation for each state.
Slavery and race
[edit]
Many colonial settlers came to Delaware from Maryland and Virginia, where the population had been increasing rapidly. The economies of these colonies were chiefly based on labor-intensive tobacco and increasingly dependent on African slaves because of a decline in working class immigrants from England. Most of the English colonists had arrived as indentured servants (contracted for a fixed period to pay for their passage), and in the early years the line between servant and slave was fluid.[citation needed]
Most of the free African-American families in Delaware before the Revolution had migrated from Maryland to find more affordable land. They were descendants chiefly of relationships or marriages between white servant women and enslaved, servant or free African or African-American men.[26] Under slavery law, children took the social status of their mothers, so children born to white women were free, regardless of their paternity, just as children born to enslaved women were born into slavery. As the flow of indentured laborers to the colony decreased with improving economic conditions in England, more slaves were imported for labor and the caste lines hardened.
By the end of the colonial period, the number of enslaved people in Delaware began to decline. Shifts in the agriculture economy from tobacco to mixed farming resulted in less need for slaves' labor. In addition local Methodists and Quakers encouraged slaveholders to free their slaves following the American Revolution, and many did so in a surge of individual manumissions for idealistic reasons. By 1810, three-quarters of all blacks in Delaware were free. When John Dickinson freed his slaves in 1777, he was Delaware's largest slave owner with 37 slaves. By 1860, the largest slaveholder owned 16 slaves.
Although attempts to abolish slavery failed by narrow margins in the legislature, in practical terms the state had mostly ended the practice. By the 1860 census on the verge of the Civil War, 91.7% of the black population were free; 1,798 were slaves, as compared to 19,829 "free colored persons".[29]
An independent black denomination was chartered in 1813 by freed slave Peter Spencer as the "Union Church of Africans". This followed the 1793 establishment in Philadelphia of the African Methodist Episcopal Church by Richard Allen, which had ties to the Methodist Episcopal Church until 1816. Spencer built a church in Wilmington for the new denomination.[30] This was renamed as the African Union First Colored Methodist Protestant Church and Connection, more commonly known as the A.U.M.P. Church. In 1814, Spencer called for the first annual gathering, known as the Big August Quarterly, which continues to draw members of this denomination and their descendants together in a religious and cultural festival.[31]
Delaware voted against secession on January 3, 1861, and so remained in the Union. While most Delaware citizens who fought in the war served in the regiments of the state, some served in companies on the Confederate side in Maryland and Virginia Regiments. Delaware is notable for being the only slave state from which no Confederate regiments or militia groups were assembled.[citation needed] Delaware essentially freed the few slaves who were still in bondage shortly after the Civil War[further explanation needed] but rejected the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments to the Constitution; the 13th Amendment was rejected on February 8, 1865, the 14th Amendment was rejected on February 8, 1867, and the 15th Amendment was rejected on March 18, 1869. Delaware officially ratified the 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments on February 12, 1901.[32]
Reconstruction and industrialization
[edit]
During the Reconstruction Era that followed the Civil War, Democratic Redeemer governments led by the South's Bourbon aristocracy continued to dominate the region and imposed explicitly white supremacist regimes in the former slave states. The Delaware legislature declared Black people to be second-class citizens in 1866, and restricted their voting rights despite the 15th Amendment, ensuring continued Democratic success in the state throughout most of the 19th century.[33] Fearful that the 1875 Civil Rights Act passed by Congress might establish racial equality, Delaware legislators passed Jim Crow laws that mandated segregation in public facilities. The state's educational system was segregated by operation of law.[34] Delaware's segregation was written into the state constitution, which, while providing at Article X, Section 2, that "no distinction shall be made on account of race or color", nonetheless required that "separate schools for white and colored children shall be maintained."[35]
Beginning in the late 19th century, the Wilmington area grew into a manufacturing center. Investment in manufacturing in the city grew from $5.5 million in 1860 to $44 million in 1900.[36] The most notable manufacturer in the state was the chemical company DuPont, which to this day is heavily credited with making the state what it is today in many ways.[37] Because of Wilmington's growth, local politicians from the city and New Castle County pressured the state government to adopt a new constitution providing the north with more representation. However, the subsequent 1897 constitution did not proportionally represent the north and continued to give the southern counties disproportionate influence.[38]
As manufacturing expanded, businesses became major players in state affairs and funders of politicians through families such as the Du Ponts. Republican John Addicks attempted to buy a US Senate seat multiple times in a rivalry with the Du Ponts until the passage of the 17th Amendment.[39] The allegiance of industries with the Republican party allowed them to gain control of the state's governorship throughout most of the 20th century. The GOP ensured black people could vote because of their general support for Republicans and thus undid restrictions on Black suffrage.[40]
Delaware benefited greatly from World War I because of the state's large gunpowder industry. DuPont, the most dominant business in the state by WWI, produced an estimated 40% of all gunpowder used by the Allies during the war. It produced nylon in the state after the war and began investments into General Motors.[41] Additionally, the company invested heavily in the expansion of public schools in the state and colleges such as the University of Delaware in the 1910s and 1920s. This included primary and secondary schools for Black people and women.[42] Delaware suffered less during the Great Depression than other states, but the depression spurred further migration from the rural south to urban areas.[43]
World War II to present
[edit]
Like in World War I, the state enjoyed a big stimulus to its gunpowder and shipyard industries in World War II. New job opportunities during and after the war in the Wilmington area coaxed Black people from the southern counties to move to the city. The proportion of blacks constituting the city's population rose from 15% in 1950 to over 50% by 1980.[44] The surge of Black migrants to the north sparked white flight, in which middle class whites moved from the city to suburban areas, leading to de facto segregation of Northern Delaware's society. In the 1940s and 1950s, Delaware attempted to integrate its schools, although the last segregated school in the state did not close until 1970.[45] The University of Delaware admitted its first black student in 1948, and local courts ruled that primary schools had to be integrated. Delaware's integration efforts partially inspired the US Supreme Court's decision in Brown v. Board of Education, which found racial segregation in United States public schools to be unconstitutional.[46] The result of the Brown ruling was that Delaware became fully integrated, albeit with time and much effort.
In October 1954, the city of Milford became the scene of one of the country's first pro-segregation boycotts after eleven Black students were enrolled in the previously all-white Milford High School. Mass protests continued in Milford; the school board eventually ceded to the protestors, expelling the Black students.[47][48][49] The ensuing unrest, which included cross burnings, rallies, and pro-segregation demonstrations, contributed to desegregation in most of Southern Delaware being delayed for another ten years. Sussex County did not start closing or integrating its segregated schools until 1965, 11 years after the Brown ruling.[50] Throughout the state, integration only encouraged more white flight, and poor economic conditions for the black population led to some violence during the 1960s. Riots broke out in Wilmington in 1967 and again in 1968 in response to the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr, after which the National Guard occupied the city for nine months to prevent further violence.[51]
Since WWII, the state has been generally economically prosperous and enjoyed relatively high per capita income because of its location between major cities like Philadelphia, New York, and Washington, DC.[52] Its population grew rapidly, particularly in the suburbs in the north where New Castle county became an extension of the Philadelphia metropolitan area.[53] Americans, including migrants from Puerto Rico, and immigrants from Latin America flocked to the state. By 1990, only 50% of Delaware's population consisted of natives to the state.[54]
Geography
[edit]
See also: "Counties" section below
Delaware is 96 miles (154 km) long and ranges from 9 to 35 miles (14 to 56 km) across, with a land area of 1,982 square miles (5,130 km2)[55] and a total area of 2,489 square miles (6,450 km2),[56] making it the second-smallest state by either metric in the United States after Rhode Island. Delaware is bounded to the north by Pennsylvania; to the east by the Delaware River, Delaware Bay, New Jersey, and the Atlantic Ocean; and to the west and south by Maryland. Small portions of Delaware are also situated on the eastern side of the Delaware River sharing land boundaries with New Jersey. The state of Delaware, together with the Eastern Shore counties of Maryland and two counties of Virginia, form the Delmarva Peninsula, which stretches down the Mid-Atlantic Coast.
The definition of the northern boundary of the state is unusual. Most of the boundary between Delaware and Pennsylvania was originally defined by an arc extending 12 miles (19.3 km) from the cupola of the courthouse in the city of New Castle.[57] This boundary is often referred to as the Twelve-Mile Circle.[c] Although the Twelve-Mile Circle is often claimed to be the only territorial boundary in the U.S. that is a true arc, the Mexican boundary with Texas includes several arcs,[58] and many cities in the South (such as Plains, Georgia)[59] also have circular boundaries.
This border extends all the way east to the low-tide mark on the New Jersey shore, then continues south along the shoreline until it again reaches the 12-mile (19 km) arc in the south; then the boundary continues in a more conventional way in the middle of the main channel (thalweg) of the Delaware River.
To the west, a portion of the arc extends past the easternmost edge of Maryland. The remaining western border runs slightly east of due south from its intersection with the arc. The Wedge of land between the northwest part of the arc and the Maryland border was claimed by both Delaware and Pennsylvania until 1921, when Delaware's claim was confirmed.
Topography
[edit]
Delaware is on a level plain, with the lowest mean elevation of any state in the nation.[60] Its highest elevation, located at Ebright Azimuth, near Concord High School, is less than 450 feet (140 m) above sea level.[60] The northernmost part of the state is part of the Piedmont Plateau with hills and rolling surfaces.
The Atlantic Seaboard fall line approximately follows the Robert Kirkwood Highway between Newark and Wilmington; south of this road is the Atlantic Coastal Plain with flat, sandy, and, in some parts, swampy ground.[61] A ridge about 75 to 80 feet (23 to 24 m) high extends along the western boundary of the state and separates the watersheds that feed Delaware River and Bay to the east and the Chesapeake Bay to the west.
Climate
[edit]
Further information: Climate change in Delaware
Since almost all of Delaware is a part of the Atlantic coastal plain, the effects of the ocean moderate its climate. The state lies in the humid subtropical climate (Köppen Cfa) zone. Despite its small size (roughly 100 miles (160 km) from its northernmost to southernmost points), there is significant variation in mean temperature and amount of snowfall between Sussex County and New Castle County. Moderated by the Atlantic Ocean and Delaware Bay, the southern portion of the state has a milder climate and a longer growing season than the northern portion of the state.
Summers are long, hot, and humid in Delaware, often with intense (but brief) late day thundershowers. Delaware averages 2,300 hrs of sunshine annually (higher than the USA average). Winters are modestly cool to cold in northern Delaware, and cool to mild in southern Delaware. The normal seasonal snowfall ranges from about 20.0 inches in Wilmington to only 10.0 inches in Lewes. In many winters no snow will fall in coastal Delaware. Northern Delaware falls into USDA Garden Zone 7a, while southern and coastal areas fall into USDA zone 7b and 8a. The milder climate in southern Delaware allows for subtropical flora such as the windmill palm, needle palm, and dwarf palmetto.
Delaware's all-time record high of 110 °F (43 °C) was recorded at Millsboro on July 21, 1930. The all-time record low of −17 °F (−27 °C) was also recorded at Millsboro, on January 17, 1893. The hardiness zones are 7B and 8A at the Delaware Beaches.
Environment
[edit]
The transitional climate of Delaware supports a wide variety of vegetation. In the northern third of the state are found Northeastern coastal forests and mixed oak forests typical of the northeastern United States.[62] In the southern two-thirds of the state are found Middle Atlantic coastal forests.[62] Trap Pond State Park, along with areas in other parts of Sussex County, for example, support the northernmost stands of bald cypress trees in North America.
Environmental management
[edit]
Delaware provides government subsidy support for the clean-up of property "lightly contaminated" by hazardous waste, the proceeds for which come from a tax on wholesale petroleum sales.[63]
Municipalities
[edit]
Wilmington is the state's most populous city (70,635) and its economic hub. It is located within commuting distance of both Philadelphia and Baltimore. Dover is the state capital and the second most populous city (38,079).

The United States Census Bureau determined that the population of Delaware was 989,948 on April 1, 2020,[66] an increase from the 2010 census figure of 897,934.[67][68]
Delaware's history as a border state has led it to exhibit characteristics of both the Northern and the Southern regions of the United States. Generally, the rural Southern (or "Slower Lower") regions of Delaware below the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal embody a Southern culture,[69][70] while densely-populated Northern Delaware above the canal—particularly Wilmington, a part of the Philadelphia metropolitan area—has more in common with that of the Northeast and the North.[71] The U.S. Census Bureau designates Delaware as one of the South Atlantic States,[14] but it is commonly associated with the Mid-Atlantic States or northeastern United States by other federal agencies, the media, and some residents.[72][73][74][75][76][77]
Delaware is the sixth most densely populated state, with a population density of 442.6 people per square mile, 356.4 per square mile more than the national average, and ranking 45th in population. Delaware is one of five U.S. states (Maine, Vermont, West Virginia, Wyoming) that do not have a single city with a population over 100,000 as of the 2010 census.[78] The center of population of Delaware is in New Castle County, in the town of Townsend.[79]
According to HUD's 2022 Annual Homeless Assessment Report, there were an estimated 2,369 homeless people in Delaware.[80][81]
Race and ethnicity
[edit]
According to the 2010 United States census, the racial composition of the state was 68.9% White American (65.3% Non-Hispanic White, 3.6% White Hispanic), 21.4% Black or African American, 0.5% American Indian and Alaska Native, 3.2% Asian American, 0.0% Native Hawaiian and other Pacific Islander, 3.4% some other race, and 2.7% of multiracial origin. People of Hispanic or Latino origin, of any race, made up 8.2% of the population.[82]
The 2022 American Community Survey estimated the state had a racial and ethnic makeup of 60.6% non-Hispanic whites, 23.6% Black or African American, 0.7% American Indian or Alaska Native, 4.2% Asian, 0.1% Pacific Islander, 2.9% multiracial, and 10.1% Hispanic or Latin American of any race.[83]
In the Native American community, the state has a Native American group, called in their own language Lenape, which was influential in the colonial period of the United States and is today headquartered in Cheswold, Kent County, Delaware.[84] A band of the Nanticoke tribe of American Indians today resides in Sussex County and is headquartered in Millsboro, Sussex County, Delaware.[85]
Delaware's population mainly consisted of people from the British Isles, African slaves, Germans and a few remaining Native Americans during the colonial era. Irish, Germans, Italians, Poles, and Russian Jewish immigrants were attracted by the industries in the Wilmington area. In the late 20th century a Puerto Rican community formed in Wilmington. Guatemalan people migrated to Sussex county to work in Delaware's poultry industry. A group of Native Americans in Delaware of mixed ethnicity, the Moors, live in Cheswold. The descendants of the Nanticoke people live around Millsboro. There is also a small numbers of Asians in New Castle county who work as scientific and engineering professionals.[86]

Since 2016, data for births of White Hispanic origin are not collected, but included in one Hispanic group; persons of Hispanic origin may be of any race.
Languages
[edit]
In 2000, 91% of Delaware residents of age 5 and older spoke only English at home; 5% spoke Spanish. French was the third most spoken language, used by 0.7% of the population, followed by Chinese (0.5%) and German (0.5%). Legislation has been proposed in both the House and the Senate in Delaware to designate English as the official language.[102][103] Neither bill was passed in the legislature.
Sexual orientation
[edit]
A 2012 Gallup poll found that Delaware's proportion of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender adults stood at 3.4% of the population. This constitutes a total LGBT adult population estimate of 23,698 people. The number of same-sex couple households in 2010 stood at 2,646. This grew by 41.65% from a decade earlier.[104][not specific enough to verify] On July 1, 2013, same-sex marriage was legalized, and all civil unions were converted into marriages.[105][better source needed]
Religion
[edit]
The predominant religion practiced in Delaware is Christianity. A 2014 estimate by the Pew Research Center found that members of Protestant churches accounted for almost half of the population,[107] though the Roman Catholic Church was the largest single denomination in the state. By 2020, the Public Religion Research Institute determined 61% of the population was Christian.[108] In 2022, the Public Religion Research Institute's survey revealed 60% were Christian, followed by Jews (3%), Hindus (1%), and New Agers (1%).[109]
The Association of Religion Data Archives reported in 2010 that the three largest Christian denominational groups in Delaware by number of adherents are the Catholic Church at 182,532 adherents, the United Methodist Church with 53,656 members reported, and non-denominational evangelical Protestants, who numbered 22,973.[110] In 2020, the Association of Religion Data Archives reported the largest Christian denominations were the Catholic Church with 197,094; non-denominational Protestants with 49,392, and United Methodists with 39,959.[111]
The Roman Catholic Diocese of Wilmington and the Episcopal Diocese of Delaware oversee the parishes within their denominations. The A.U.M.P. Church, the oldest African-American denomination in the nation, was founded in Wilmington. It still has a substantial presence in the state. Reflecting new immigrant populations, an Islamic mosque has been built in the Ogletown area, and a Hindu temple in Hockessin.
Delaware is home to an Amish community which resides west of Dover in Kent County, consisting of nine church districts and about 1,650 people. The Amish first settled in Kent County in 1915. In recent years, increasing development has led to the decline in the number of Amish living in the community.[112][113][114]
A 2012 survey of religious attitudes in the United States found that 34% of Delaware residents considered themselves "moderately religious", 33% "very religious", and 33% as "non-religious".[115] At the 2014 Pew Research survey, 23% of the population were irreligious; the 2020 Public Religion Research Institute's survey determined 31% of the population were irreligious.[108] In 2022, the same study showed 33% of the population as irreligious.[109]

According to a 2020 study by Kiplinger, Delaware had the 17th most millionaires per capita in the United States; altogether, there were 25,937 such individuals. The median income for Delaware households as of 2020 was $64,805.[117][118]
Agriculture
[edit]
Delaware's agricultural output consists of poultry, nursery stock, soybeans, dairy products and corn.
Industries
[edit]
As of October 2019 , the state's unemployment rate was 3.7%.[119]
The state's largest employers are:[citation needed]

Industrial decline
[edit]
Since the mid-2000s, Delaware has seen the departure of the state's automotive manufacturing industry (General Motors Wilmington Assembly and Chrysler Newark Assembly), the corporate buyout of a major bank holding company (MBNA), the departure of the state's steel industry (Evraz Claymont Steel), the bankruptcy of a fiber mill (National Vulcanized Fiber),[120] and the diminishing presence of AstraZeneca in Wilmington.[121][122]
In late 2015, DuPont announced that 1,700 employees, nearly a third of its footprint in Delaware, would be laid off in early 2016.[123] The merger of E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Co. and Dow Chemical Company into DowDuPont took place on September 1, 2017.[124][125][126][127]
Incorporation in Delaware
[edit]
Main article: Delaware General Corporation Law
More than half of all U.S. publicly traded companies, and 63% of the Fortune 500, are incorporated in Delaware.[128] The state's attractiveness as a corporate haven is largely because of its business-friendly corporation law. Franchise taxes on Delaware corporations supply about a fifth of the state's revenue.[129] Although "USA (Delaware)" ranked as the world's most opaque jurisdiction on the Tax Justice Network's 2009 Financial Secrecy Index,[130] the same group's 2011 Index ranks the U.S. fifth and does not specify Delaware.[131] In Delaware, there are more than a million registered corporations,[132] meaning there are more corporations than people.
Food and drink
[edit]
Title 4, chapter 7 of the Delaware Code stipulates that alcoholic liquor be sold only in specifically licensed establishments, and only between 9:00 a.m. and 1:00 a.m.[133] Until 2003, Delaware was among the several states enforcing blue laws and banned the sale of liquor on Sunday.[134]
Media
[edit]
Newspapers
[edit]
Two daily newspapers are based in Delaware, the Delaware State News, based in Dover and covering the two southern counties, and The News Journal covering Wilmington and northern Delaware. The state is also served by several weekly, monthly and online publications.
Television
[edit]
No standalone television stations are based solely in Delaware. The northern part of the state is served by network stations in Philadelphia and the southern part by network stations in Salisbury, Maryland. Philadelphia's ABC affiliate, WPVI-TV, maintains a news bureau in downtown Wilmington. Salisbury's CBS affiliate, WBOC-TV, maintains bureaus in Dover and Milton. Three Philadelphia-market stations—PBS member WHYY-TV, Ion affiliate WPPX, and MeTV affiliate WDPN-TV—all have Wilmington as their city of license, but maintain transmitters at the market antenna farm in Roxborough, Philadelphia and do not produce any Delaware-centric programming.
Radio
[edit]
There are a numerous radio stations licensed in Delaware. WDDE 91.1 FM, WDEL 1150AM, WHGE-LP 95.3 FM, WILM 1450 AM, WVCW 99.5, WMPH 91.7 FM, WSTW 93.7 FM, WTMC 1380 AM and WWTX 1290AM are licensed from Wilmington. WRDX 92.9 FM is licensed from Smyrna. WDOV 1410AM, WDSD 94.7 FM and WRTX 91.7 FM are licensed from Dover.
Tourism
[edit]
Delaware is home to First State National Historical Park, a National Park Service unit composed of historic sites across the state including the New Castle Court House, Green, and Sheriff's House, Dover Green, Beaver Valley, Fort Christina, Old Swedes' Church, John Dickinson Plantation, and the Ryves Holt House.[135] Delaware has several museums, wildlife refuges, parks, houses, lighthouses, and other historic places.
Rehoboth Beach, together with the towns of Lewes, Dewey Beach, Bethany Beach, South Bethany, and Fenwick Island, comprise Delaware's beach resorts. Rehoboth Beach often bills itself as "The Nation's Summer Capital" because it is a frequent summer vacation destination for Washington, D.C., residents as well as visitors from Maryland, Virginia, and in lesser numbers, Pennsylvania. Vacationers are drawn for many reasons, including the town's charm, artistic appeal, nightlife, and tax-free shopping. According to SeaGrant Delaware, the Delaware beaches generate $6.9 billion annually and over $711 million in tax revenue.[136]
Delaware is home to several festivals, fairs, and events. Some of the more notable festivals are the Riverfest held in Seaford, the World Championship Punkin Chunkin formerly held at various locations throughout the state since 1986, the Rehoboth Beach Chocolate Festival, the Bethany Beach Jazz Funeral to mark the end of summer, the Apple Scrapple Festival held in Bridgeville, the Clifford Brown Jazz Festival in Wilmington, the Rehoboth Beach Jazz Festival, the Sea Witch Halloween Festival and Parade in Rehoboth Beach, the Rehoboth Beach Independent Film Festival, the Nanticoke Indian Pow Wow in Oak Orchard, Firefly Music Festival, and the Return Day Parade held after every election in Georgetown.
In 2015, tourism in Delaware generated $3.1 billion, which makes up five percent of the state's GDP. Delaware saw 8.5 million visitors in 2015, with the tourism industry employing 41,730 people, making it the 4th largest private employer in the state. Major origin markets for Delaware tourists include Philadelphia, Baltimore, New York City, Washington, D.C., and Harrisburg, with 97% of tourists arriving to the state by car and 75% of tourists coming from a distance of 200 miles (320 km) or less.[137]
Delaware is also home to two large sporting venues. Dover Motor Speedway is a race track in Dover, and Frawley Stadium in Wilmington is the home of the Wilmington Blue Rocks, a Minor League Baseball team that is currently affiliated with the Washington Nationals.
Education
[edit]
In the early 1920s, Pierre S. du Pont served as president of the state board of education. At the time, state law prohibited money raised from white taxpayers from being used to support the state's schools for black children. Appalled by the condition of the black schools, du Pont donated four million dollars to construct 86 new school buildings.[138]
Delaware was the origin of Belton v. Gebhart (1952), one of the four cases which were combined into Brown v. Board of Education, the Supreme Court of the United States decision that led to the end of officially segregated public schools. Significantly, Belton was the only case in which the state court found for the plaintiffs, thereby ruling that segregation is unconstitutional.
Unlike many states, Delaware's educational system is centralized in a state Superintendent of Education, with local school boards retaining control over taxation and some curriculum decisions. This centralized system, combined with the small size of the state, likely contributed to Delaware becoming the first state, after completion of a three-year, $30 million program ending in 1999, to wire every K-12 classroom in the state to the Internet.[139]
As of 2011 , the Delaware Department of Education had authorized the founding of 25 charter schools in the state, one of them being all-girls.[140]
All teachers in the State's public school districts are unionized.[141] As of January 2012 , none of the State's charter schools are members of a teachers union.[141] One of the State's teachers' unions is Delaware State Education Association (DSEA).[141]

Transportation
[edit]
The transportation system in Delaware is under the governance and supervision of the Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT).[143][144] Funding for DelDOT projects is drawn, in part, from the Delaware Transportation Trust Fund, established in 1987 to help stabilize transportation funding; the availability of the Trust led to a gradual separation of DelDOT operations from other Delaware state operations.[145] DelDOT manages programs such as a Delaware Adopt-a-Highway program, major road route snow removal, traffic control infrastructure (signs and signals), toll road management, Delaware Division of Motor Vehicles, the Delaware Transit Corporation (branded as "DART First State", the state government public transportation organization), and others.
In 2009, DelDOT maintained 13,507 lane-miles, totaling 89 percent of the state's public roadway system, the rest being under the supervision of individual municipalities. This far exceeds the national average (20 percent) for state department of transportation maintenance responsibility.[146]
Roads
[edit]
Further information: Delaware State Route System
One major branch of the U.S. Interstate Highway System, Interstate 95 (I-95), crosses Delaware southwest-to-northeast across New Castle County. Two Auxiliary Interstate Highway routes are also located in the state. Interstate 495 (I-495) is an eastern bypass of Wilmington. Interstate 295 (I-295) is a bypass of Philadelphia which begins south of Wilmington. In addition to Interstate highways, there are six U.S. highways that serve Delaware: U.S. 9, U.S. 13, U.S. 40, U.S. 113, U.S. 202, and U.S. 301. There are also several state highways that cross the state of Delaware; a few of them include DE 1, DE 9, and DE 404. U.S. 13 and DE 1 are primary north–south highways connecting Wilmington and Pennsylvania with Maryland, with DE 1 serving as the main route between Wilmington and the Delaware beaches. DE 9 is a north–south highway connecting Dover and Wilmington via a scenic route along the Delaware Bay. U.S. 40 is a primary east–west route, connecting Maryland with New Jersey. DE 404 is another primary east–west highway connecting the Chesapeake Bay Bridge in Maryland with the Delaware beaches. The state also operates three toll highways, the Delaware Turnpike, which is I-95, between Maryland and New Castle; the Korean War Veterans Memorial Highway, which is DE 1, between Wilmington and Dover; and the U.S. 301 toll road between the Maryland border and DE 1 in New Castle County.
A bicycle route, Delaware Bicycle Route 1, spans the north–south length of the state from the Maryland border in Fenwick Island to the Pennsylvania border north of Montchanin. It is the first of several signed bike routes planned in Delaware.[147]
Delaware has about 875 bridges,[148] 95 percent of which are under the supervision of DelDOT. About 30 percent of all Delaware bridges were built before 1950, and about 60 percent of the number are included in the National Bridge Inventory.[citation needed] Some bridges not under DelDOT supervision includes the four bridges on the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal, which are under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers,[149][150] and the Delaware Memorial Bridge, which is under the bi-state Delaware River and Bay Authority.[151][152]
It has been noted that the tar and chip composition of secondary roads in Sussex County makes them more prone to deterioration than are the asphalt roadways in almost the rest of the state.[153] Among these roads, Sussex (county road) 236 is among the most problematic.[153]
Ferries
[edit]
Three ferries operate in the state of Delaware:
Cape May–Lewes Ferry crosses the mouth of Delaware Bay between Lewes, Delaware and Cape May, New Jersey.
Woodland Ferry (a cable ferry) crosses the Nanticoke River southwest of Seaford.
Forts Ferry Crossing connects Delaware City with Fort Delaware and Fort Mott, New Jersey.
Rail and bus
[edit]
Delaware passenger rail
Claymont Wilmington Churchmans Crossing Newark
Services
Amtrak & SEPTA Regional Rail Amtrak only
Amtrak has two stations in Delaware along the Northeast Corridor; the relatively quiet Newark Rail Station in Newark, and the busier Wilmington Station in Wilmington. The Northeast Corridor is also served by SEPTA's Wilmington/Newark Line, part of SEPTA Regional Rail, which serves Claymont, Wilmington, Churchmans Crossing, and Newark.
Two Class I railroads, Norfolk Southern and CSX, provide freight rail service in northern New Castle County. Norfolk Southern provides freight service along the Northeast Corridor and to industrial areas in Edgemoor, New Castle, and Delaware City. CSX's Philadelphia Subdivision passes through northern New Castle County parallel to the Amtrak Northeast Corridor. Multiple short-line railroads provide freight service in Delaware. The Delmarva Central Railroad operates the most trackage of the short-line railroads, running from an interchange with Norfolk Southern in Porter south through Dover, Harrington, and Seaford to Delmar, with another line running from Harrington to Frankford and branches from Ellendale to Milton and from Georgetown to Gravel Hill. The Delmarva Central Railroad connects with the Maryland and Delaware Railroad, which serves local customers in Sussex County.[154] CSX connects with the freight/heritage operation, the Wilmington and Western Railroad, based in Wilmington and the East Penn Railroad, which operates a line from Wilmington to Coatesville, Pennsylvania.
The last north–south passenger trains through the main part of Delaware was the Pennsylvania Railroad's local Wilmington-Delmar train in 1965.[155][156] This was a successor to the Del-Mar-Va Express and Cavalier, which had run from Philadelphia through the state's interior, to the end of the Delmarva Peninsula until the mid-1950s.[157][158]
The DART First State public transportation system was named "Most Outstanding Public Transportation System" in 2003 by the American Public Transportation Association. Coverage of the system is broad within northern New Castle County with close association to major highways in Kent and Sussex counties. The system includes bus, subsidized passenger rail operated by Philadelphia transit agency SEPTA, and subsidized taxi and paratransit modes. The paratransit system, consisting of a statewide door-to-door bus service for the elderly and disabled, has been described by a Delaware state report as "the most generous paratransit system in the United States".[145] As of 2012 , fees for the paratransit service have not changed since 1988.[145]
Air
[edit]
See also: Aviation in Delaware
As of 2023 , Delaware is served exclusively by Avelo Airlines out of Wilmington Airport, launching five routes to Florida on February 1.[159][160] This put an end to an eight-month period during which Delaware had no scheduled air service, one of several since 1991.[161] Various airlines had served Wilmington Airport, the latest departure being Frontier Airlines in June 2022.[162]
Delaware is centrally situated in the Northeast megalopolis region of cities along I-95. Therefore, Delaware commercial airline passengers most frequently use Philadelphia International Airport (PHL), Baltimore-Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI) and Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD) for domestic and international transit. Residents of Sussex County will also use Wicomico Regional Airport (SBY), as it is located less than 10 miles (16 km) from the Delaware border. Atlantic City International Airport (ACY), Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR), and Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA) are also within a 100-mile (160 km) radius of New Castle County.
Other general aviation airports in Delaware include Summit Airport near Middletown, Delaware Airpark near Cheswold, and Delaware Coastal Airport near Georgetown.
Dover Air Force Base, one of the largest in the country, is home to the 436th Airlift Wing and the 512th Airlift Wing. In addition to its other responsibilities in the Air Mobility Command, it serves as the entry point and mortuary for U.S. military personnel (and some civilians) who die overseas.
Law and government
[edit]
Delaware's fourth and current constitution, adopted in 1897, provides for executive, judicial and legislative branches.[163]
Legislative branch
[edit]
The Delaware General Assembly consists of a House of Representatives with 41 members and a Senate with 21 members. It sits in Dover, the state capital. Representatives are elected to two-year terms, while senators are elected to four-year terms. The Senate confirms judicial and other nominees appointed by the governor.
Delaware's U.S. Senators are Tom Carper (Democrat) and Chris Coons (Democrat). Delaware's single U.S. Representative is Lisa Blunt Rochester (Democrat).
Judicial branch
[edit]
The Delaware Constitution establishes a number of courts:
The Delaware Supreme Court is the state's highest court.
The Delaware Superior Court is the state's trial court of general jurisdiction.
The Delaware Court of Chancery deals primarily in corporate disputes.
The Family Court handles domestic and custody matters.
The Delaware Court of Common Pleas has jurisdiction over a limited class of civil and criminal matters.
Minor non-constitutional courts include the Justice of the Peace Courts and Aldermen's Courts.
Significantly, Delaware has one of the few remaining Courts of Chancery in the nation, which has jurisdiction over equity cases, the vast majority of which are corporate disputes, many relating to mergers and acquisitions. The Court of Chancery and the Delaware Supreme Court have developed a worldwide reputation for rendering concise opinions concerning corporate law which generally (but not always) grant broad discretion to corporate boards of directors and officers. In addition, the Delaware General Corporation Law, which forms the basis of the Courts' opinions, is widely regarded as giving great flexibility to corporations to manage their affairs. For these reasons, Delaware is considered to have the most business-friendly legal system in the United States; therefore a great number of companies are incorporated in Delaware, including 60% of the companies listed on the New York Stock Exchange.[164]
Delaware was the last U.S. state to use judicial corporal punishment, in 1952.[165]
Executive branch
[edit]
The executive branch is headed by the Governor of Delaware. The current governor is John Carney (Democrat), who took office January 17, 2017. The lieutenant governor is Bethany Hall-Long. The governor presents a "State of the State" speech to a joint session of the Delaware legislature annually.[166]
The executive branch also consists of the Attorney General of Delaware currently held by Kathy Jennings, the State Treasurer currently held by Colleen Davis, the Auditor of Accounts currently held by Lydia York and the Insurance Commissioner currently held by Trinidad Navarro.
Counties
[edit]
Delaware is subdivided into three counties; from north to south they are New Castle, Kent and Sussex. This is the fewest among all states. Each county elects its own legislative body (known in New Castle and Sussex counties as County Council, and in Kent County as Levy Court), which deal primarily in zoning and development issues. Most functions which are handled on a county-by-county basis in other states—such as court and law enforcement—have been centralized in Delaware, leading to a significant concentration of power in the Delaware state government. The counties were historically divided into hundreds, which were used as tax reporting and voting districts until the 1960s, but now serve no administrative role, their only current official legal use being in real estate title descriptions.[167]
Politics
[edit]
Main article: Politics of Delaware
The Democratic Party holds a plurality of registrations in Delaware. Currently, Democrats hold all positions of authority in Delaware, as well as majorities in the state Senate and House. The Democrats have held the governorship since 1993, having won the last seven gubernatorial elections. Democrats presently hold all the nine statewide elected offices, while the Republicans last won any statewide offices in 2014, State Auditor and State Treasurer.
During the First and Second Party Systems, Delaware was a stronghold for the Federalist and Whig Parties, respectively. After a relatively brief adherence to the Democratic Solid South following the US Civil War, Delaware became a Republican-leaning state from 1896 through 1948, voting for losing Republicans Charles Evans Hughes in 1916, Herbert Hoover in 1932, and Thomas Dewey in 1948.
During the second half of the 20th century, Delaware was a bellwether state, voting for the winner of every presidential election from 1952 through 1996. Delaware's bellwether status came to an end when Delaware voted for Al Gore in 2000 by 13%. Subsequent elections have continued to demonstrate Delaware's current strong Democratic lean: John Kerry carried the First State by 8% in 2004; Barack Obama carried it by 25% and by 19% in his two elections of 2008 and 2012; and Hillary Clinton carried it by 11% as she lost the Electoral College in 2016. In 2020, Delaware native (and Barack Obama's former vice president and running mate) Joe Biden headed the Democratic ticket; he carried his home state by just shy of 19% en route to a national 4.5% win.[168]
The dominant factor in Delaware's political shift has been the strong Democratic trend in heavily urbanized New Castle County, home to 55% of Delaware's population. New Castle County has not voted Republican in a presidential election since 1988, and has given Democrats over 60% of its vote in every election from 2004 on. In 1992, 2000, 2004, and 2016, the Republican presidential candidate carried both Kent and Sussex but lost by double digits each time in New Castle County, which was a large enough margin to tip the state to the Democrats. New Castle County also elects a substantial majority of the state legislature; 27 of the 41 state house districts and 14 of the 21 state senate districts are based in New Castle County.
In a 2020 study, Delaware was ranked as the 18th hardest state for citizens to vote in.[169]
Freedom of information
[edit]
Each of the 50 states of the United States has passed some form of freedom of information legislation, which provides a mechanism for the general public to request information of the government.[170] In 2011 Delaware passed legislation placing a 15 business day time limit on addressing freedom-of-information requests, to either produce information or an explanation of why such information would take longer than this time to produce.[171] A bill aimed at restricting Freedom of Information Act requests, Senate Bill 155, was discussed in committee.[172]
Taxation
[edit]
Tax is collected by the Delaware Division of Revenue.[173]
Delaware has six different income tax brackets, ranging from 2.2% to 5.95%. The state does not assess sales tax on consumers. The state does, however, impose a tax on the gross receipts of most businesses. Business and occupational license tax rates range from 0.096% to 1.92%, depending on the category of business activity.
Delaware does not assess a state-level tax on real or personal property. Real estate is subject to county property taxes, school district property taxes, vocational school district taxes, and, if located within an incorporated area, municipal property taxes.
Gambling provides significant revenue to the state. For instance, the casino at Delaware Park Racetrack provided more than $100 million to the state in 2010.[174]
In June 2018, Delaware became the first U.S. state to legalize sports betting following the Supreme Court ruling to overturn the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act of 1992 (PASPA).[175]
Voter registration
[edit]
Voter registration and party enrollment as of April 2024[176] Party Number of voters Percentage Democratic 351,700 45.46% Republican 206,438 26.69% Unaffiliated 194,729 25.17% Independent Party of Delaware 10,665 1.38% Libertarian 2,038 0.26% Non-partisan 1,164 0.15% Minor parties 6,821 Total 773,555 100.00%

As Delaware has no franchises in the major American professional sports leagues, many Delawareans follow either Philadelphia or Baltimore teams. In the WNBA, the Washington Mystics enjoy a major following due to the presence of Wilmington native and University of Delaware product Elena Delle Donne. The University of Delaware's football team has a large following throughout the state, with the Delaware State University and Wesley College teams also enjoying a smaller degree of support.
Delaware is home to Dover Motor Speedway and Bally's Dover. Dover Motor Speedway, also known as the Monster Mile, is one of only 10 tracks in the nation to have hosted 100 or more NASCAR Cup Series races. Bally's Dover is a popular harness racing facility. It is the only co-located horse- and car-racing facility in the nation, with the Bally's Dover track located inside the Dover Motor Speedway track.
Delaware is represented in rugby by the Delaware Black Foxes, a 2015 expansion club.
Delaware has been home to professional wrestling outfit Combat Zone Wrestling (CZW). CZW has been affiliated with the annual Tournament of Death and ECWA with its annual Super 8 Tournament.
Delaware's official state sport is bicycling.[177]
Foreign Affairs
[edit]
Sister State
[edit]
Delaware has had a foreign sister state in Japan, named Miyagi Prefecture.[178] These two have shared relations since 1997, and have had exchange programs available for students that were briefly paused in wake of the earthquake and the tsunami that ensued in the prefecture during March 2011.[179]
Delawareans
[edit]
Prominent Delawareans include the du Pont family of politicians and businesspersons, and the 46th and current president of the United States Joe Biden, whose family moved to Delaware during his childhood, and who later represented Delaware for 36 years in the United States Senate before becoming the 47th vice president of the United States.

Delaware began as New Sweden, an abortive attempt by the Swedes to found a colony on the shores of Delaware Bay in the New World. There were few immigrants from the old world (many of them Finns), and the colony suffered from a chronic shortage of manpower. It had only 183 residents by 1647. The Swedes also tried about the same time to join the rush by European powers to get footholds in West Africa to gain access to gold and slaves, but this, too, never amounted to much, and they were soon driven out by more aggressive European powers.
The Swedes turned to Indian slaves, when they could get them, but disease and westward migration had already emptied the region of native tribes. Still, a few Indian slaves persisted in Delaware until the 1720s, and the presence of a clause in the 1776 state constitution barring transportation of Indian slaves indictes that it was at least considered a possibility at that late date. Perhaps they were brought from the Carolinas.
The first black slave in the colony was named Anthony, and he had been brought up from the West Indies in 1639. But African slavery didn't truly begin in a large scale in Delaware until the Dutch took over. Peter Stuyvesant, the aggressive director-general of New Netherlands, in what is now New York, set out to re-establish an old Dutch claim to the Delaware Bay, even though the Netherlands and Sweden were at peace. He built a fort a few miles downriver from the Swedes' Fort Christina to provoke them. The Swedes took it over, and in 1655 Stuyvesant used that as a pretext to lead a large military expedition against New Sweden and easily conquer it.
The Dutch had ousted the Portugese as the early leaders in slave shipping, and they began to bring Africans across the Atlantic to work the land in the new colony on the Delaware. The numbers of slaves declined after the English conquest of New Netherlands in the fall of 1664, but rose again in the early 18th century as the labor-intensive tobacco and corn economy expanded. These slaves were generally were purchased in Philadelphia or from the Eastern Shore. In the decade before the Revolution, between 20 percent and 25 percent of the colony's population was enslaved. That figure is much higher than any Northern colony, but lower than any in the South.
Caesar Rodney (that's him on the back of the Delaware commemorative quarter, riding hell-to-leather to Philadelphia on July 2, 1776, to cast the vote that made the Declaration of Independence unanimous) was at the center of one of the first slavery debates in Delaware's history. It began in 1767 and lasted off and on until the Revolution. Rodney led the faction that was in favor of ending slave importation into the colony. But a closer look at the votes in the case suggest that this was not at heart a humanitarian issue. Ths supporters of the ban were in Rodney's home county, Kent. The opponents were those to the north and south. "A probable explanation is that the more established Kent planters had a surplus of slaves by 1767 and were anxious to sell them to farmers in the undeveloped sections of Sussex and southern New Castle County," a historian of slavery in Delaware has written, "where there was still a strong market for unfree blacks. An import ban would help keep prices high by eliminating the only competing source of supply."[1] As in other regions of the Upper South, the ban against importing slaves was supported by the more established slaveowners.
SLAVERY'S DECLINE
That was the high water mark of Delaware slavery. The Revolution disrupted the economy, and wheat (which was less conducive to slave labor) replaced corn and tobacco as cash crops. A state law banning the sale of Delaware slaves to the Carolinas, Georgia, and the West Indies (expanded 1789 to include Maryland and Virginia), helped make slaveowning increasingly unprofitable. In 1797, all Delaware slaves sold out of the state were declared automatically free.
Slave importation was finally outlawed in Delaware by the 1776 constitution, in part because the Revolutionary junta led by Rodney and his allies had seized the reins of government, in part because new slaves were no longer needed by this time. But there was no teeth in the ban until 1787. In 1789, Delaware barred slave ships from its ports.
The 1790 census showed 70 percent of the state's black population were slaves, and slaves were 15 percent of the state's total. Manumission picked up after the Revolution, as the Quakers, who were a dominant force in the northern end of the state, turned firmly against slave-owning, and the Methodists, one of the more egalitarian sects, gained numbers in the state's southern end. The language of the Declaration of Independence, and the enlightenment spirit of equality, also helped place slavery in an ethically precarious position in the minds of many. Abolition societies formed in Wilmington and Dover in 1788 and 1789. Wilmington eventually became a nexus of the Underground Railroad, and the city's most famous abolitionist, Thomas Garrett, was probably the inspiration for the heroic Quaker Simeon Holliday in "Uncle Tom's Cabin."
There was social pressure against manumission by whites who feared being outnumbered by free blacks, and wills that set slaves free were often contested in court. A slave was still valuable property -- a young black male slave being worth about $150 in 1816 in southwestern Sussex County, where an acre of land was worth about $1. But the inability to sell slaves out-of-state and the changing agricultural practices were gradually making slave-owning less profitable in Delaware. By 1810, some 78 percent of Delaware's blacks were free (as opposed to 63 percent in New York and 42 percent in New Jersey in the same year), and unlike other northern states, it had been done voluntarily, without legal requirements. By 1840, only 13 percent of the state's blacks were enslaved, and slaves made up a mere 3 percent of the total population. In the early 1800s, 60 percent of Delaware's enslaved lived in units of 5 or fewer.
Delaware had, proportionally, the largest free black population of any state. This was not merely a statistical abstraction, but it was known and commented upon by the people in Delaware at the time, as in the Wilmington newspaper of 1850 that noted that Delaware "has more free colored in proportion to its population than any state in the Union."
White employers relied on free blacks for labor, and, like Maryland, Delaware took a coercive stance toward its free black population. An 1849 law threatened to sell free blacks into servitude for a year if they were "idle and poor" and remained unemployed. Blacks had been barred from state-aided schools as far back as 1821. In 1832, not long after Nat Turner's rebellion, the General Assembly began to pass "black codes" to control the lives and activities of freedmen. Soon these harsh rules made Delaware "the least hospitable place in the Union for freedmen prior to the Civil War."[2] The result was a migration of Delaware blacks northward in the 1850s.
An attempt to abolish slavery in the new state constitution in 1792 failed. Bills to abolish slavery were introduced in the General Assembly in 1796 and '97. An attempt at gradual emancipation in 1803 was killed by the speaker of the state House of Representatives, who cast the tiebreaking vote. Further attempts were made, but the abolition bills generally were smothered or starved in parliamentary procedure. By this time, the pattern had been established of anti-slavery New Castle County in the north vs. pro-slavery Sussex County in the south.
An 1845 bill for gradual abolition was "indefinitely postponed," but in 1847 a gradual emancipation bill that would have freed all African-Americans born into slavery after 1850 made it out of committee, with a recommendation of approval on economic grounds. Industrial Wilmington was eager to keep up with its bigger rivals, and the Northern political rhetoric of the times held that free laboring men, working to better their condition in factories or on farms, were the key to a region's prosperity. The committee report warned that "the carelessness, slovenly and unproductive husbandry visible in some parts of our state, undoubtedly result mainly from the habit of depending on slave labor. It is no longer a disputable question that slave labor impoverishes, while free labor enriches people."
The House passed the bill, by a vote of 12 to 8 (this is Delaware, remember: things happen on a very small scale). But it was tabled in the state Senate by one vote. Ironically, the deciding vote against it was cast by a senator who probably lived in Pennsylvania, in an area where the Mason-Dixon survey had left the boundary doubtful: a small spike of land that technically belonged to Pennsylvania but traditionally had been administered by Delaware.
Slavery debates in Delaware were a clash of morality and conservatism. The state's congressional delegation, on instruction from the General Assembly, opposed the extension of slavery in 1819, in the crisis that led up to the Missouri Compromise. The General Assembly passed resolutions against the annexation of Texas and the spread of slavery into territories conquered from Mexico. Yet the same General Assembly would not end slavery where it had power to do so, at home.
LINCOLN'S PLAN
Like the draft effort of 1862, the experiment with compensated emancipation in Delaware was a last bid by the Lincoln administration to do things the old way before making a radical change.
By the time the Civil War began, fewer than 1,800 slaves lived in Delaware, and 75 percent of them were in Sussex County, mostly in the Nanticoke River basin in the far southwest of the state. In the fall of 1861, Lincoln proposed to George P. Fisher, Delaware congressman, a plan to compensate Delaware's remaining slaveholders from federal funds if they would free their slaves. Lincoln hoped that, if this could be shown to work in Delaware, it could be done as well in Maryland, Kentucky, and Missouri, and eventually become a model for the states then in the Confederacy. In his proposal to Fisher, he called it the "cheapest and most humane way of ending this war and saving lives."[3]
Lincoln spoke in pragmatic terms in a July 12, 1862, "Appeal" to representatives of the border states. He told them that if they repudiated slavery it would remove one of the South's principal causes in continuing the war: that the slave border states were being kept in the Union against their will. And he laid out the practical, economic argument: "How much better for you and for your people to take the step which at once shortens the war and secures substantial compensation for that which is sure to be wholly lost in any other event! ... How much better to do it while we can, lest the war ere long render us pecuniarily unable to do it!"[4]
He also emphasized the conservative nature of his proposal for gradual emancipation, and he held out the promise of colonization. "I do not speak of emancipation at once, but of a decision at once to emancipate gradually. Room in South America for colonization can be obtained cheaply and in abundance, and when numbers shall be large enough to be company and encouragement for one another, the freed people will not be so reluctant to go." The administration, at this time, had agents scouting the Mosquito Coast of Nicaragua as a possible destination for freed slaves.
Lincoln also mentioned Gen. Hunter's proclamation of emancipation in his theater of the war, and the embarrassment it caused Lincoln to have to repudiate it. This, he said, had caused "disaffection ... to many whose support the country cannot afford to lose." And he mentioned the mounting pressure on him toward abolition. "By conceding what I now ask," he told the border state representatives, "you can relieve me, and, much more, can relieve the country, in this important point."
Fisher arranged a meeting between Lincoln and Republican Benjamin Burton of Indian River Hundred in Sussex County, who, with 28 slaves, was the leading slaveowner in Delaware. Burton listened to the President's plan, and assured him the state's farmers would go along with it if the price was fair. Fisher then went to Dover, and, with the help of Republican Nathaniel P. Smithers, drew up a bill and presented it to the General Assembly. It would free all slaves over 35 at once, and all others by 1872. The compensation rate was to be set by a local board of assessors, and payments were to average about $500 per slave, which was very generous. It was more than a prime field hand was worth, and was five times the value of a typical slave in the state. Payment was to come from a pool of $900,000 to be provided by Congress, then safely in GOP hands.
But Lincoln was unpopular in Delaware -- he had finished third there in the 1860 election, with 24 percent of the vote, behind Breckenridge and Bell -- and even if the money offered was good, the state's politicians seemed disinclined to help the government. Delaware also had a suspicion of federal interference in its internal affairs.
In 1862, the General Assembly replied to Lincoln's compensated emancipation offer with a resolution stating that, "when the people of Delaware desire to abolish slavery within her borders, they will do so in their own way, having due regard to strict equity." And they furthermore notified the administration that they regarded "any interference from without" as "improper," and a thing to be "harshly repelled."[5]
The states' rights rhetoric probably in part masked a fear of social equality for blacks. Delaware's Sen. Joseph A. Bayard, an opponent of the administration, admitted, "slavery does not exist as a valuable source of prosperity" in Delaware.[6] But the "Delawarean" newspaper on Sept. 6, 1862, called Lincoln's plan "the first step; if it shall succeed, others will follow tending to elevate the Negro to an equality with the white man or rather to degrade the white man by obliterating the distinction between races." It sounds deeply racist to modern ears, but such rhetoric was boilerplate for Northern newspapers, even many of those generally friendly to the administration, throughout the war.
Others played on the old fear that free blacks would prey on whites. Samuel Townsend, a Democrat writing in opposition to the plan, portrayed the white population of Delaware as riding on the back of a tiger from which it dared not dismount, for, "in a short time," free blacks in the state "might equal the white population and cause a massacre." Even Fisher, while pushing the President's plan, supported colonization not just of the freed slaves in Delaware, but of the state's entire black population.
The plan was never put to a vote. Fisher and Smithers canvassed the General Assembly and found that the bill would probably pass the Senate, but lose in the House by one vote. They withdrew the plan rather than see it defeated. The elections that fall produced a decisive Democratic victory in Delaware, which doomed the chance for emancipation there. As it turned out, Kentucky and Delaware, among the border states, continued to tolerate slavery, even after Lee's surrender. Delaware's General Assembly refused to ratify the 13th Amendment, calling it an illegal extension of federal powers over the states. Only in December 1865, when the 13th Amendment went into effect on a national scale, did slavery cease in Delaware. By then there were only a few hundred left. Many male slaves had run off in 1863 and 1864 and gone to the cities to enlist in black regiments.

It is unique within Delaware and perhaps the entire United States. The Trustees have a fascinating history as old as New Castle, because the 'Common' land has existed since the days of early Dutch colonization.
In 1701, William Penn surveyed and formally recognized 1,068 acres which were already being used as a common. By the middle of that century, it became apparent that overseers were needed to protect and preserve the common lands for the benefit of all. A trust was incorporated in 1764, and a body of thirteen Trustees appointed for life terms to act as stewards of the land.
About thirty years ago these terms were reduced to twelve years. For over 250 years the mission has remained the same: to manage the common lands responsibly and for the benefit of the citizens of New Castle. Today, Trust income is derived primarily from property leases and investments.
There are thirteen Trustees Board members. They meet regularly on the first Tuesday of each month (except July and August) in the conference room at 807 Frenchtown Road. The Board accomplishes its work through a number of working committees.
Meetings are scheduled for the first Tuesday of each month, except in July and August when no meetings are held. In September and January the meeting date may be changed to the second Tuesday of the month, depending on when Labor Day and New Year's Day fall.
The meetings are held in the boardroom at Penn Farm, 807 Frenchtown Road, New Castle.
Residents are welcome to attend Trustee Board Meetings on a quarterly basis (the March, June, September and December meetings).
In the past, there was a "Public Comment" period at the end of the four (4) publicly attended Board meetings. For all future publicly attended meetings, a "Public Comment" period will not be included on the agenda. Questions and comments by residents about Trust business should be sent to the "office@trusteesncc.org" email address. Timely responses will be given directly by the appropriate Trustee committee.
Please note: The minutes for all the Board meetings are posted on the website, here.
Meetings open to the public begin at 7:00 PM and are scheduled as follows:
March 5, 2024
June 4, 2024
September 3, 2024
December 3, 2024
(Note: any changes to these dates will be posted on his website.)

For the county, see New Castle County, Delaware.
City in Delaware, United States
New Castle is a city in New Castle County, Delaware, United States. The city is located six miles (10 km) south of Wilmington and is situated on the Delaware River. As of 2020, the city's population was 5,551.[3] New Castle constitutes part of the Delaware Valley or Philadelphia metropolitan area.
History
[edit]
17th century
[edit]
New Castle was originally settled by the Dutch West India Company in 1651 under the leadership of Peter Stuyvesant on the site of a former aboriginal village, "Tomakonck" ("Place of the Beaver"), to assert their claim to the area based on a prior agreement with the aboriginal inhabitants of the area. The Dutch originally named the settlement Fort Casimir, but this was changed to Fort Trinity following its seizure by the colony of New Sweden on Trinity Sunday in 1654. The Dutch conquered the entire colony of New Sweden the following year and rechristened the fort as Nieuw-Amstel, named after the Amstel. This marked the end of the Swedish colony in Delaware as an official entity, but it remained a semi-autonomous unit within the New Netherland colony and the cultural, social, and religious influence of the Swedish settlers remained strong. As the settlement grew, Dutch authorities laid out a grid of streets and established a common green in the town's center, which continues to this day.
In 1664, the English seized the entire New Netherland colony in the Second Anglo-Dutch War. They changed the name of the town to "New Castle" and made it the capital of their Delaware Colony. The Dutch regained the town in 1673 during the Third Anglo-Dutch War but it was returned to Great Britain the next year under the Treaty of Westminster. In 1680, New Castle was conveyed to William Penn by the Duke of York by livery of seisin and was Penn's landing place when he first set foot on American soil on October 27, 1682. This transfer to Penn was contested by Lord Baltimore and the boundary dispute was not resolved until the 1763-1767 survey conducted by Mason and Dixon, now famed in history as the Mason–Dixon line.[4][5][page needed]
18th century
[edit]
Prior to the establishment of Penn's Philadelphia, New Castle was a center of government. After being transferred to Penn, Delaware's Swedish, Dutch, and English residents became accustomed to the relaxed culture of the Restoration monarchy and grew uncomfortable with the more conservative Quaker influence, so Delaware petitioned for a separate legislature, which was finally granted in 1702. Delaware formally broke from Pennsylvania in 1704. New Castle again became the seat of the colonial government, thriving with the various judges and lawyers that fueled the economy. Many smaller houses were torn down and replaced in this era. In February, 1777, John McKinly was elected the first President of Delaware, a title later renamed "Governor". During the Revolution, when New Castle was besieged by William Howe, the government elected to move its functions south to Dover in May, 1777. McKinley was captured by the British and held prisoner for several months. New Castle remained the county seat until after the Civil War, when that status was transferred to Wilmington. Three of the 56 signers of the Declaration of Independence were from New Castle: Thomas McKean, George Read, and George Ross.
19th century
[edit]
The 16-mile (26 km) portage between the Delaware River and Chesapeake Bay saved a 400-mile (640 km) trip around the Delmarva Peninsula, so this brought passengers, goods, and business to New Castle's port. In the years following the Revolution, a turnpike was built to facilitate travel between the two major waterways. Later, New Castle became the eastern terminus of the New Castle and Frenchtown Railroad, the second-oldest rail line in the country, launched in 1828 with horse-drawn rail cars, then converting to steam power when an engine was purchased from Great Britain in 1832. The line traversed the Delmarva Peninsula, running to the Elk River, Maryland, from where passengers changed to packet boats for further travel to Baltimore and points south. This helped the New Castle economy to further boom; however, by 1840, rail lines were in place between Philadelphia and Baltimore, which had a stop in Wilmington, thus leaving New Castle to deal with a substantial decline in traffic and revenue.
The decline in New Castle's economy had the long-range fortunate effect of preventing most residents from making any significant structural changes to their homes. The many buildings of historic New Castle have largely not been upgraded or restored and appear much as they did in the Colonial and Federal periods.
20th century
[edit]
Since 1927, New Castle has offered tours of historical homes, churches, and gardens, which are typically held annually on the third Saturday of May. Householders dress in colonial costumes and an admittance fee, used toward the maintenance of the town's many historic buildings, is charged. Annually in June, New Castle holds its annual Separation Day celebration.
On April 28, 1961, an F3 tornado hit the north side.[6] Although no fatalities or injuries occurred, it was the only tornado of this magnitude ever recorded in Delaware during the Fujita scale area.[7]
21st century
[edit]
A tornado rated EF3 hit the city on April 1, 2023.[8]
Geography
[edit]
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 3.2 square miles (8.2 km2), of which 3.0 square miles (7.9 km2) of it is land and 0.1 square miles (0.3 km2) of it (3.79%) is water.[citation needed]
The city is the home of Broad Dyke, the first dyke built in the United States.[citation needed]
The cupola of the court house is the center of the "Twelve-Mile Circle" that defines much of the border between Delaware and Pennsylvania. The circle also forms a small portion of the border between Delaware and New Jersey and Delaware and Maryland.[9]

HISTORY

|
Delaware's Native American History
Paleo-Indians inhabited the area now known as Delaware at least 12,000 years ago. Thousands of years later, various Native American tribes, including the Algonquian, Lenape, Nanticoke and others, lived in settled communities, farmed and traded along the region’s waterways.
The Dutch and Swedes arrived in the early 17th century, with the Dutch founding the colony of New Sweden. The region’s name comes from the Delaware River and Delaware Bay, named after Sir Thomas West, Lord De La Warr, an English nobleman who became the first colonial governor of Virginia.
European-introduced diseases, including smallpox and measles, killed many Native Americans in the Delaware Valley, and conflict over land and with the Iroquois Confederacy forced most surviving Lenape to relocate.
Delaware's Colonial History
English Explorer Henry Hudson’s 1609 discovery of Delaware Bay led to European settlements in the area. In 1631, Dutch traders established Zwaanendael (archaic Dutch for "swan valley”) near present-day Lewes, which members of the Lenape tribe destroyed due to cultural misunderstandings. In 1638, Swedish settlers founded Fort Christina, now Wilmington, the first permanent European settlement in Delaware. New Castle, founded in 1651, was another significant settlement, serving as a major colonial port.
The Dutch and Swedes clashed over the territory, leading to the Dutch-Swedish War (1655-1657). The war ended with Dutch control, but the English seized the territory in 1664, incorporating it into the English colony of New York. William Penn gained the land in 1682, putting it under Pennsylvania governance, and in 1703, it was granted its own provincial assembly until 1776, when it became its own colony.
Delaware and the American Revolution
In 1776, during the American Revolutionary War (1775-1783), Delaware’s delegates were divided on whether to vote for the Declaration of Independence. Famously, Caesar Rodney, elected to serve as the first president of Delaware two years later, rode 70 miles in the rain from Dover to Philadelphia to cast his vote for independence from England.
Delaware’s location along the Atlantic coast made it a strategic asset for trade and military operations during the war. The state contributed troops, including the Delaware Regiment and the “Blue Hen Chicks,” but saw only one Revolutionary War battle in 1777, at the Battle of Cooch’s Bridge.
Following the British defeat, delegates to the Constitutional Convention drafted a new U.S. Constitution, and Delaware was the first state to ratify it on December 7, 1787.
Delaware and the Civil War
A border state, Delaware was a slave state in 1861, divided between its northern and the southern population, much like the nation. However, it remained in the Union during the Civil War (1861-1865). When asked to join the Confederate cause, Delaware Governor William Burton said, “As the first state to join the Union, Delaware will be the last state to leave it.”
Fort Delaware became a significant site during the war, holding Confederate prisoners, and nearly 12,000 Delawareans fought for the Union Army, while approximately 2,000 joined the Confederacy.
Wilmington’s Quaker population played a crucial role in the Underground Railroad, helping enslaved people escape to freedom. However, despite the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863, slavery continued in Delaware until the 13th Amendment was ratified in 1865. Delaware enforced Jim Crow laws into the late 1960s.
Delaware's Industrial Revolution and Economic Growth
Throughout the 19th and early 20th centuries, Delaware saw waves of immigration, particularly from Ireland, Germany and Italy, as people sought work in the state’s growing industries, which played an important role in the American Industrial Revolution.
Among the most notable was French immigrant Éleuthère Irénée du Pont de Nemours, founder of the gunpowder-producing DuPont company founded near Wilmington in 1802. DuPont expanded, developing innovations such as nylon, neoprene, Teflon, Mylar, Kevlar, Lycra, Styrofoam and more, and remains in Wilmington as one of the nation’s oldest companies.
The state was key in shipbuilding, gunpowder production, and later chemical manufacturing. It is home to the first automated flour mills and the invention of the high-pressure steam engine. Agricultural output in Delaware includes poultry, dairy products, corn and soybeans.
Delaware’s industries were crucial in supplying materials during both World Wars. Post-war, the state’s economy diversified into finance and corporate services, with Wilmington becoming a hub for credit card banking and corporate headquarters.

The British Colonials and Progenitors (continued)
THE DUKE OF YORK'S GRANT
Only a few months before the English conquered New Netherland in 1664, Charles II granted the territory as a proprietorship to his brother, James, Duke of York, to hold with all customary proprietary rights. James, keeping for himself the Hudson Valley and the islands in the harbor, renamed the province, as well as the town on Manhattan Island, New York. He conveyed the southern part of his grant, between the Hudson and the Delaware Rivers, to two loyal Stuart supporters, Lord John Berkeley and Sir George Carteret, who named it New Jersey. New York was quickly amalgamated into the English colonial system and enjoyed a continuing prosperity. When James assumed the throne, the province automatically became a royal colony. It was attached briefly to the Dominion of New England, but regained separate status after the Glorious Revolution (1688).
New Jersey had few settlements when it passed into the possession of the new proprietors. A scattering of Swedes, Dutch, and Finns had filtered into the area from New York. Almost as soon as English control was asserted, New England Puritans moved into the area. They were welcomed by the proprietors' representative, who in 1665 founded the village of Elizabethtown. Because immigration into New Jersey was encouraged by promises of religious toleration, representative government, and moderately priced land, the colony was populated rather quickly.
In 1674, Lord Berkeley sold his interest in New Jersey to two English Quakers. From them, it passed into the hands of three others, one of whom was William Penn. In 1676, Carteret agreed with them to split the colony into East and West Jersey and ceded the latter to them. In 1688, James II reasserted his governing right and brought the Jerseys into the Dominion of New England. After the collapse of the Dominion, in 1689, East and West Jersey reverted to full proprietary control. In 1702, however, the proprietors surrendered their governing power to the Crown, but retained their land titles. In 1738, New Jersey was reestablished as a separate royal colony.
In 1682, to obtain access to the seacoast, William Penn acquired Delaware from the Duke of York, who between 1664 and 1680 had taken over the area on the assumption that it was part of his grant and had divided it into three counties, or "Territories." After Penn's purchase, these counties were at first governed as part of Pennsylvania and basked in the same prosperity. In 1701, however, they were authorized to form a separate assembly, which occurred in 1704, and the colony of Delaware was born. But it remained under the jurisdiction of the Penn family until the War for Independence.
PENNSYLVANIA: A QUAKER PROPRIETORSHIP
Pennsylvania was the most successful of the proprietary colonies. Adm. Sir William Penn was a wealthy and respected friend of Charles II. His son, William, was an associate of George Fox, founder of the Society of Friendsa despised Quaker. When the senior Penn died, in 1670, his Quaker son inherited not only the friendship of the Crown but also an outstanding unpaid debt of some magnitude owed to his father by the King. In settlement, in 1681 he received a grant of land in America, called "Pennsylvania," which he decided to use as a refuge for his persecuted coreligionists. It was a princely domain, extending along the Delaware River from the 40th to the 43d parallel. As proprietor, Penn was both ruler and landlord. The restrictions on the grant were essentially the same as those imposed on the second Lord Baltimore: colonial laws had to be in harmony with those of England and had to be assented to by a representative assembly.

Penn lost little time in advertising his grant and the terms on which he offered settlement. He promised religious freedom and virtually total self-government. More than 1,000 colonists arrived the first year, most of whom were Mennonites and Quakers. Penn himself arrived in 1682 at New Castle and spent the winter at Upland, a Swedish settlement on the Delaware that the English had taken over; he renamed it Chester. He founded a capital city a few miles upstream and named it Philadelphiathe City of Brotherly Love. Well situated and well planned, it grew rapidly. Within 2 years, it had more than 600 houses, many of them hand some brick residences surrounded by lawns and gardens.
Shiploads of Quakers poured into the colony. By the summer of 1683, more than 3,000 settlers had arrived. Welsh, Germans, Scotch-Irish, Mennonites, Quakers, Jews, and Baptists mingled in a New World utopia. Not even the great Puritan migration had populated a colony so fast. Pennsylvania soon rivaled Massachusetts, New York, and Virginia. In part its prosperity is attributable to its splendid location and fertile soils, but even more to the proprietor's felicitous administration. In a series of lawsthe Great Law and the First and Second Frames of GovernmentPenn created one of the most humane and progressive governments then in existence. It was characterized by broad principles of religious toleration, a well-organized bicameral legislature, and a forward-looking penal code.

Another reason for the colony's growth was that, unlike the other colonies, it was not troubled by the Indians. Penn had bought their lands and made a series of peace treaties that were scrupulously fair and rigidly adhered to. For more than half a century, Indians and whites lived in Pennsylvania in peace. Quaker farmers, who were never armed, could leave their children with neighboring "savages" when they went into town for a visit.
By any measure, Penn's "Holy Experiment" was a magnificent success. Penn proved that a state could function smoothly on Quaker principles, without oaths, arms, or priests, and that these principles encouraged individual morality and freedom of conscience. Furthermore, ever a good businessman, he made a personal fortune while treating his subjects with unbending fairness and honesty.

GEORGIAEARLY PENETRATION
By 1700, the last of the British colonies in the present United States, Georgia, had not yet been founded. Not until 1733 did the philanthropist Gen. James Oglethorpe begin to settle the colony, which he had conceived as a refuge for oppressed debtors in English prisons [Colonials and Patriots, Vol. VI in this series, pp. 19-20]. As the 17th century neared an end, however, the British were beginning to penetrate the area. English traders set up posts on the Savannah, Oconee, and Ocmulgee Rivers and were active along the Chattahoochee and as far west as the Mississippi. Winning the friendship of two powerful Indian tribes, the Creek and the Chickasaw, they created the antagonism with the Spanish and the French that resulted in the international clashes of the early 1700's.

SOCIAL AND CULTURAL LIFE
Life in early colonial times was harsh, and the refinements of the mother country were ordinarily lacking. The colonists, however, soon began to mold their English culture into the fresh environment of a new land. The influence of religion permeated the entire way of life. In most southern colonies, the Anglican Church was the legally established church. In New England, the Puritans were dominant; and, in Pennsylvania, the Quakers. Especially in the New England colonies, the local or village church was the hub of community life; the authorities strictly enforced the Sabbath and sometimes banished nonbelievers and dissenters.
Unfortunately, the same sort of religious intolerance, bigotry, and superstition associated with the age of the Reformation in Europe also prevailed in some of the colonies, though on a lesser scale. In the last half of the 17th century, during sporadic outbreaks of religious fanaticism and hysteria, Massachusetts and Connecticut authorities tried and hanged a few women as "witches." Early in the 18th century, some other witchcraft persecution occurred, in Virginia, North Carolina, and Rhode Island. As the decades passed, however, religious toleration developed in the colonies.
Because of the strong religious influence in the colonies, especially in New England, religious instruction and Bible reading played an important part in education. In Massachusetts, for example, a law of 1647 required each town to maintain a grammar school for the purpose of providing religious, as well as general, instruction. In the southern colonies, only a few privately endowed free schools existed. Private tutors instructed the sons of well-to-do planters, who completed their educations in English universities. Young males in poor families throughout the colonies were ordinarily apprenticed for vocational education.

Delaware Colony Summary
The history of the Three Lower Counties on the Delaware — one of the official names given to Delaware in its early days, was heavily influenced by Swedish, Dutch, and English colonists. Delaware was first settled as Dutch territory, then was part of New Sweden before returning to Dutch control. In the 1660s, the English finally took control, making it part of the Province of New York. When William Penn needed access to the Atlantic Ocean for his city of Philadelphia, he gained control of the three counties along the Delaware River and eventually granted them a separate government in 1701.
Delaware Colony Facts
Delaware was one of the Middle Colonies in Colonial America.
The territory was originally inhabited by Native American Indians.
European exploration of the Delaware River Valley started in the early 1600s.
Various European groups claimed control of the territory during the Colonial Era, including the Dutch, Swedes, and English.
Indian tribes and European colonists were involved in the Fur Trade.
The first black man in Delaware, Antoni Swart, who was called “Black Anthony,” arrived in 1630.
England first took control of Delaware in 1664, and it was part of the Province of New York.
Delaware became a proprietary colony, under the control of William Penn, in 1682.
Delaware was referred to as the Three Lower Counties on the Delaware until it declared independence from Great Britain in 1776.
Delaware’s history is closely tied to Pennsylvania, because of William Penn.
Geography
The Three Counties on the Delaware
The Province of Delaware was the second smallest of the 13 Original Colonies, covering less than 2,000 square miles across three counties — New Castle, Sussex, and Kent. The northwest corner of Delaware, mainly New Castle County, was covered with rolling foothills, while Southern Delaware ran along the coast and was covered with wetlands.
The River and the Bay
The Delaware River and Delaware Bay dominated the landscape, flowing north to south and providing access to the Atlantic Ocean. European powers vied for control of the region because of access provided by the river and bay, which also made New Castle and Wilmington important port towns during the Colonial Era.
Native American Indians
Archaeological findings indicate that nomadic hunters and gatherers started living in the region — known as the Delmarva Peninsula — around 6500 B.C. From 1000 A.D. to 1300 A.D., the indigenous populations transitioned to more settled lifestyles, relying on hunting and basic agriculture for food.
In their villages, there were clear gender roles. Men hunted alone, and women farmed together. The significant exception was fall deer hunts, which included everyone.
The Delaware Tribes
In the early 17th century, the Delmarva Peninsula was home to three main tribes, even though European colonists referred to them collectively as the Delaware Indians.
Lenope
Lenape
Nanticoke
The Lenope and Lenape were the most prominent, and spoke a dialect of the Algonquin language, although they became distinctly separate tribes around A.D. 1300 A.D. Both tribes lived near the Delaware River and Delaware Bay, relying on the seasonal migration of fish and game for food.
The Nanticoke lived in the southwest part of the peninsula, which later became Sussex County.
Trade with Europeans
By the early 17th century, the Indians, primarily the Lenape, had enjoyed more than 50 years of friendly trade with Dutch and Swedish colonists. This beneficial trade relationship continued, even when Pennsylvania’s government controlled Delaware.
The Delaware tribes were often in conflict with other Indian nations, including the Iroquois Confederacy and the Susquehannocks. Threats from these nations encouraged the Delaware tribes to trade for European goods and move further inland.
Displacement of Indians
By the mid-18th century, three main factors that contributed to the displacement of Indians from their ancestral lands:
European settlement on Native hunting grounds.
The impact of European diseases on the non-immune Native American population.
The growing European population.
In the mid-18th century, the Lenape moved to western Pennsylvania where they continued to participate in the Fur Trade. Over time, they moved further west, relocating to Ohio, Canada, and even west of the Mississippi River into present-day Oklahoma.
European Control of Delaware
Control of the Delaware Colony shifted between England, the Netherlands, and Sweden. In 1664, England finally took control of Delaware, when a fleet of English ships took over New Netherland.
Henry Hudson
In 1609, Henry Hudson, an English explorer working for the Dutch, explored the Delmarva Peninsula, in search of the fabled Northwest Passage. He sailed up the Delaware River, which he called the “South River,” and claimed the region for the Dutch.
Zwaanendael Colony
However, the Dutch did not establish a permanent settlement until 1631. That year, a group of about 30 colonists established Zwaanendael — also spelled Swanendael — at Cape Henlopen on Lewes Creek to hunt whales and produce whale oil.
Unfortunately, the settlement lasted less than a year when the colonists clashed with local Indians. According to most accounts, the Indians stole a piece of tin, intending to use it to make tobacco pipes. The incident escalated, and nearly all of the colonists were killed. The only survivors were two boys, Pierre and Hendrick Wiltsee.
It took the Dutch another 24 years before they attempted to resettle in the Delaware region.
New Sweden
In 1638, the New Sweden Company founded a settlement on Minquan Kil, which was later renamed Christiana River in honor of the Queen of Sweden.
During this period, the Thirty Years’ War (1618–1648) was taking place in Europe, and Sweden sought to establish itself as a colonial power. Sweden permitted Dutch merchants to create settlements and trading posts along the west bank of the Delaware River, which formed New Sweden. However, New Sweden struggled for most of the time it existed, although there was limited success under the administration of Governor Johan Printz.
In the early 1650s, officials from New Sweden and New Netherland argued over territorial claims, but neither group had the military resources needed to enforce their claims. However, during the Second Northern War (1665–1660), the conflict spilled over to North America and Dutch forces took control of New Sweden, making it part of New Netherland.
During the time of Swedish and Dutch control, Delaware had a small population of a few thousand Indians and less than 1,000 Europeans who were Swedes, Dutch, and Finns. There were also around 100 African slaves and servants.
It is also estimated that around 1,000 Europeans — Swedes, Dutch, and Finns — and Africans were living along the Delaware River Valley. These people were located in trading settlements that went as far north as present-day Burlington, New Jersey.
Delaware Under the Control of New York
In 1664, King Charles II of England issued a charter to his brother James, the Duke of York, granting him the territory between the Delaware River and the Connecticut River. This grant included Dutch territory in New Netherland, including the settlement at New Amsterdam.
James sent a fleet of ships to take control of New Amsterdam, which was surrendered by the Governor, Peter Stuyvesant, without a fight. With New Netherland under English control, it was renamed the Province of New York and New Amsterdam was renamed New York City.
A smaller fleet, led by Sir Robert Carr, attacked the Dutch stronghold at New Amstel in northern Delaware, which was renamed New Castle.
English officials paid little attention to Delaware when it was part of New York.
The Lower Three Counties
Delaware was part of New York until 1682, when William Penn, the founder of Pennsylvania, requested control from the Duke of York. Penn needed access to the Delaware River, Delaware Bay, and Atlantic Ocean for Philadelphia. The Duke of York responded by leasing the three counties in Delaware to Penn.
Penn decided to keep the name New Castle for the northern county, but he renamed the two southern counties, calling them Kent and Sussex.
The three counties remained part of Pennsylvania and were not independent. The colony was known as the “Government of the Counties of New Castle, Kent, and Sussex on Delaware” or simply the “Lower Counties.”
In December 1682, Penn and the First General Assembly of Pennsylvania convened to enact laws. On December 4, the “Act of the Union of the Province and Territories” was enacted, which joined Pennsylvania and the Lower Counties under one government. A second act, naturalized all “foreigners then residing within the province and territories.”
Penn proposed his Frame of Government, which ensured residents of the Lower Counties had equal representation in Pennsylvania’s General Assembly. As part of the shared government, meetings of the General Assembly were shared between the two colonies, alternating between Philadelphia and New Castle.
In 1701, Penn and the Assembly agreed to the 1701 Charter of Privileges, which allowed Delaware to establish its own General Assembly. As part of the agreement, Delaware agreed to remain under the jurisdiction of the Governor of Pennsylvania, who was appointed by Penn.
The Delaware General Assembly held its first independent meeting in New Castle in 1704. The two colonies shared the same Governor for the remained of the Colonial Era until the Lower Counties declared independence from Great Britain and adopted the name “Delaware.”
Population and Immigration
As New England and the Middle Colonies developed, colonists migrated to Delaware, including Quakers. As Europe continued to be plagued by wars over religion and monarchies, more people emigrated to the English Colonies.
In Northern Delaware, New Castle was the largest settlement and attracted artisans and merchants. The surrounding countryside was populated with small farms owned by Swedes, Dutch, and English. Some of those farms relied on slave labor and nearly all of them were focused on the production of grain, which could be easily shipped to Philadelphia and sold.
Along the waterways that branched off of the Christiana River and Delaware River, mills were built around the town of Wilmington to process corn and wheat into flour. By the 1740s, Wilmington was a leader in the production of flour.
In Southern Delaware, the counties of Kent and Sussex were similar to Maryland, which lay to the south and west. It was in those areas where slavery gained a foothold in Delaware.
Most white families in Southern Delaware were involved in farming, using family labor alongside indentured servants and sometimes as many as two African slaves. However, it was the large plantation owners, who had 20 or more slaves, who dominated society, politics, and the economy of the southern counties.
Slavery in Delaware
During Swedish control of Delaware from 1638 to 1655, only a small number of captured Africans were brought to Delaware as slaves, partly due to the limited resources of the New Sweden Company.
When New Sweden was taken over by the Dutch, settlers in Delaware had access to the slave trade through the Dutch West Indian Company, which contributed to an increase in the number of enslaved Africans in the colony. It is estimated that roughly 20 percent of the population of Delaware was made up of enslaved people by 1664.
While early economies of nearby colonies like Virginia and Maryland relied on Indentured Servants from England to drive the workforce, Delaware’s access to the slave trade contributed to slavery becoming the primary way to acquire workers. Over time, both Virginia and Maryland shifted to slavery, especially after Bacon’s Rebellion took place.
By the early 1700s, around 30 percent of the people in Delaware were enslaved, while that number reached anywhere from 40 to 60 percent in Virginia and Maryland.
After Pennsylvania was founded and unified with the Lower Counties, there was a significant influx of Scots-Irish into Delaware. Many of them arrived as Indentured Servants, brought their families with them, and settled in New Castle County. It is estimated that from the 1720s to the 1760s the number of Indentured Servants was about the same as the enslaved population, roughly 30 percent.
Black Anthony
In 1639, the first documented black man arrived in present-day Delaware. Known as “Black Anthony,” he arrived from the West Indies on the ship Fogel Grip. According to some accounts, he had been kidnapped by the captain of the ship. His real name was Antoni Swart and he eventually became a free man, who found employment with Governor Johan Printz.
Economy
Leading up to the 1750s, Delaware’s agricultural economy was focused on tobacco, corn, and wheat. However, in the 1750s, tobacco became an unprofitable crop, leading planters and farmers to develop trade connections with Philadelphia merchants and transition their focus from tobacco to grain production.
The production of corn and wheat was less labor-intensive than tobacco, which reduced the need for labor in Delaware over the long term. The influx of Indentured Servants supplied enough workers, which helped keep slavery from growing at the rate it did in Virginia and Maryland.
Government and Politics
The “Hundred” was a unique political unit in between Pennsylvania’s townships and Maryland’s counties, and served as the foundation for government and community in Delaware. They were essentially unincorporated subdivisions of the counties.
The first Hundreds were established in 1682. There were five Hundreds in New Castle County, five in Kent County, and two in Sussex County. As the population grew, so did the number of Hundreds
In the southern counties, political life was dominated by wealthy planters who sought the support of middle-class property holders. In northern New Castle County, where there were fewer slaves and planters, both merchants and farmers had more active, equal roles in politics.
Across Delaware, freeholders elected local officials, while the governor, following the assembly’s recommendations, appointed judges and justices of the peace. In each county, voters elected tax assessors and sheriffs. These officials worked with the justices of the peace to govern the three counties.
Society
In Northern Delaware, where there was a larger Quaker community, there was little emphasis on social hierarchy and subordination of the lower classes, including enslaved people and indentured servants. Women also held more authority within their families and in community institutions like churches.
In Southern Delaware, where there was a significant population of slaves and indentured servants, relationships were built around social hierarchy and subordination. Plantation owners were responsible for governing and caring for the people living on their lands, which could include: gentry planters, yeoman farmers, free white people who did not own property, white indentured servants, and enslaved Africans.
Timeline and Chronology
Before the arrival of Europeans, most Indians along the Delaware River identified as Lenni Lenapes, meaning “original people.” They spoke an Algonquian dialect and lived in loosely connected villages. The villages were situated between the Iroquois Confederacy and the Susquehannock, resulting in conflicts between the Delaware tribes and the larger nations.
1609 — Henry Hudson, an Englishman in command of the Dutch ship Half Moon, visited Delaware Bay while searching for the Northwest Passage. His reports increased the interest of both the Dutch and English in the Delaware River Valley.
1610 — Captain Samuel Argall, an Englishman working for the Virginia Company, named Delaware Bay after Thomas West, Baron De La Warr, the governor of Virginia Colony.
1614 — The Dutch identified the whole mid-Atlantic region, from Jamestown to Quebec, as New Netherland. Their goal was to profit from the Fur Trade and fishing in and around Delaware Bay.
1614 — Captain Cornelis Mey explored Delaware Bay, naming Fenwick’s Island and Cape Hindlopen. He also gives present-day Cape Henlopen, across from Cape Mey, the name Cape Cornelis
1615 — Captain Cornelis Hendrkksen explored the Delaware River up to Schuylkill
1621 — The Dutch States-General granted the Dutch West India Company a trade monopoly, including commerce with Africa’s west coast and the Americas. The company established the earliest European settlements in the Delaware River Valley, although they were mostly trading posts and not permanent.
1623 — Captain Mey sailed up Prince Hendricks River and built a Dutch trading post, Fort Nassau, at present-day Gloucester, New Jersey.
1629 — The States-General approved the “Freedoms and Exemptions” charter, which granted independent settlers the right to as much land as they could cultivate. It also allowed stockholders in the West India Company to become patroons by settling 50 adults in New Netherland.
This “Patroon System” also allowed the stockholders to pass the land to their heirs. Patroonships initially included 16 miles of riverfront land and extended inland as far as possible.
Land at Cape Henlopen was granted to Samuel Godyn, Samuel Blommaers, and David de Vries, making them Patroons.
1631 — Samuel Godyn commissioned a group of 28 men, led by Captain Peter Heycs, to establish the first European settlement in present-day Delaware on Noorn Kill. It was called Zwaanendael or Swanendael because of the number of swans living in the area. Today, the area is part of Lewes, Delaware.
1632 — Capt. David Pieterssen De Vries visited Zwaanendael. He found the colony destroyed and all but two boys were killed by Indians.
1637 — The New Sweden company was organized. The first expedition set sail from Gothenburg, Sweden in two ships, the Kalmar Nyckel (Key of Kalmar) and the Fogel Grip (Bird Griffin).
1638 — Fort Christina, the first permanent European settlement in present-day Delaware and the entire Delaware River Valley was established by the New Sweden Company, a joint Dutch-Swedish trading corporation, led by Peter Minuet.
The first colonists were 23 men, including Minuet, Captain Mans Kling, and Hendrick Huygen, the commissary. Minuet and his expedition disembarked at The Rocks
Fort Christina was initially funded by the Dutch but most of the colonists were Swedes. By 1641, Swedish investors bought out the Dutch stockholders.
Fort Christina was located along Minquas Kill (Christina River) at present-day Wilmington, Delaware.
1639 — The first documented African in Delaware, known as “Black Anthony,” arrived at Fort Christina.
1640 — The second and third expeditions arrived at New Sweden. Some of the new colonists included Governor Peter Hollandaer and Reverend Reorus Torkillus, the first clergyman. Torkillus was also the first Lutheran minister in America.
1641 — The fourth expedition arrived with 35 new colonists, including Herr Christoffer, a clergyman. Many of the colonists were from Finland.
1643 — The fifth expedition arrived, carrying Lieutenant Colonel Johan Printz, the new Governor of New Sweden.
Under the leadership of Printz, New Sweden had its most successful years. He oversaw the construction of Fort Elfsborg at Varckens Kill, New Jersey., Fort New Gothenburg at Tinicum, Pennsylvania. and a blockhouse at Upland (present-day Chester, Pennsylvania). He also established a tobacco plantation on the Schuylkill River.
By 1643, the population of New Sweden was 118 people.
1644 — The sixth Swedish expedition arrived. Due to deaths and some colonists returning the Europe, the population dropped to 98.
1646 — The seventh expedition arrived, carrying goods, but only a few new colonists.
1649 — A supply ship, The Kattan (The Cat), wrecked near Puerto Rico.
1651 — Peter Stuyvesant of New Amsterdam took control of the Fur Trade from New Sweden. He sailed with a fleet of 11 ships to the Delaware River, marched overland with 120 soldiers, and occupied Sandhook (present-day New Castle). He built Fort Casimir, giving the Dutch control of the river.
1653 — Printz resigned as Governor and returned to Sweden. The population of New Sweden continued to fall, while 36 families were living at the Dutch settlement at Fort Casimir.
1654 — An expedition arrived, carrying Governor Johan Rising and new colonists, boosting the population to 368. Rising captured Fort Casimir, renamed it Fort Trefaldighet and left a garrison of Swedish troops.
In taking the fort, New Sweden regained control of the river. This allowed Rising to make improvements to the colony’s infrastructure, including new roads, farms, and a village near Fort Christina called Christianahamn.
Another expedition followed but failed to land at Delaware Bay. It arrived at New Amsterdam, where it was seized by Peter Stuyvesant.
1655 — Stuyvesant led another military expedition against New Sweden. With 7 ships and 300 men under his command, he forced the garrison at Fort Trefaldighet to surrender. The fort was renamed Fort Casimir.
Stuyvesant led his forces to Fort Christina, where he laid siege to the fort and burned the town of Christinahamn. After 12 days, the Swedes surrendered.
The Dutch had control of the Delaware River and New Sweden. The New Sweden Colony came to an end and became part of New Netherland.
Although some Swedes returned to Europe, many remained and accepted Dutch rule, because they were granted religious freedom.
1656 — A supply ship, the Mercurius arrived from Sweden with 110 new settlers. Jean Paul Jacquet, Dutch Vice-Director and Chief Magistrate of the South River, refused to permit them to land, but they disembarked at Tinicum.
1657 — The territory of Delaware was divided. Fort Altena (formerly Fort Christina) was the seat of government for the northern region. Fort Casimir and its adjoining town, New Amstel, were the seat of government for the southern region.
Together, Fort Casimir and New Amstel were referred to as “City Colony.”
1657 — An expedition carrying Jacob Alrichs, the new Director, and 125 Dutch settlers, including Evert Pietersen, first schoolmaster, arrived at New Amstel. The increase in population increased the number of homes in New Amstel to around 100.
1659 — A trading post was established at Hoorn Kill, which is present-day Lewes.
1659 — The population of New Amstel was devastated by famine and disease, and roughly 30 families remained. The Calvert Family claimed ownership of the western shore of Delaware. Stuyvesant responded by sending Augustine Herrman and Resolved Waldron to discuss the situation with Lieutenant-General Josias Fendall, the 4th Proprietary Governor of Maryland. However, no resolution is reached.
1662 — A Mennonite colony was established at Cape Henlopen by Peter Plockhoy.
1663 — City Colony, was a diverse community of Dutch, Swedish, and Finnish settlers. The northern settlements, or the Upper Colony, were still largely Swedish. In 1663, the two colonies were merged under one government.
1664 — King Charles II of England granted his brother, James, Duke of York, a substantial portion of the American coast, which included the Dutch territory of New Netherland.
James sent an expedition under the command of Sir Richard Nicolls to take possession of the Dutch territories. New Netherland tried to defend itself but was surprised when four ships and 450 soldiers arrived.
Two English ships, under the command of Robert Carr, took possession of the Upper Colony without a fight. However, Fort Casimir resisted, leading the English to storm the fort and capture it. The name was changed to New Castle.
With the victory, the English controlled the Delaware River.
Carr also destroyed the Plockhoy’s Quaker colony.
1667 — Sir Francis Lovelace was named Governor of the Duke of York’s territory. Carr was named Deputy Governor over the Delaware settlements.
1669 — The Long Finn Rebellion took place, led by Marcus Jacobson who was known as the “Long Finn.” The rebellion failed and Jacobson was banished to Barbados.

Penn’s deputy, William Markham, was given control of the two southern counties in Delaware, which were renamed by Penn.
1682 — The first General Assembly of “Province of Pennsylvania and Three Lower Counties on the Delaware” met at Upland in December.
1682 — Delaware representatives voted to join with Pennsylvania, however, this created a dispute between Penn and Lord Baltimore, the proprietor of Maryland, over the borders of Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Delaware.
1684 — The Calvert Family continued to claim their charter included the territory of southern and western Delaware. Maryland dispatched Colonel George Talbot who built a small fort near the town of Christiana.
1688–1689 — The Glorious Revolution took place in England. King James II, formerly the Duke of York and a close friend of Penn, fled the country in the wake of a Dutch invasion. William of Orange and Mary took the throne of England. Several of James II’s friends and political allies, including Penn, faced imprisonment. Penn was eventually released, but during his absence, Delaware essentially separated from Pennsylvania for three years. In response, Penn appointed a separate governor for the Lower Counties, which had developed differently from Pennsylvania and had a higher percentage of Anglicans.
1690 — The first “Hundreds” were established.
1691 — The Lords of Trade proposed placing Pennsylvania under royal control. The government of the Delaware counties was separated from Pennsylvania and William Markham was named Deputy Governor.
1692 — King William III suspended Penn’s charter and took control of Pennsylvania. Colonel Benjamin Fletcher was appointed Governor. The charter was suspended over accusations the colony was not adequately prepared to defend itself against France, during King William’s War.
1693 — Fletcher, who was also the Governor of New York, arrived in April and appointed William Markham as his Lieutenant Governor. Fletcher was unpopular from the start. He increased the size of the Provincial Council and reduced the size of the Provincial Assembly. He created more controversy when he suggested raising money through a property tax to help the Province of New York Colony defend itself against the French.
1694 — Penn regained influence with the Crown, and requested the return of control of Pennsylvania. His request was granted in July, but Penn was required to accept the laws enacted during Fletcher’s administration. Penn also had to pledge loyalty to King William III and Queen Mary II and acknowledge that William Markham would continue to govern Pennsylvania until he could assume the role himself.
1696 — The General Assembly and Governor’s Council forced Markham to agree to a new Frame of Government, which is known as “Markham’s Frame.” Pennsylvania and Delaware operated under it until 1700.

1700 — At Penn’s request, the Assembly convened in New Castle. During the meetings, more than 100 laws, known as the “New Castle Laws,” were enacted. Unfortunately, Penn and the Assembly were unable to reach an agreement on a new structure for the government.
1701 — The Assembly convened to address instructions from the Crown regarding the reinforcement of colonial defenses along the New York frontier. Delegates from the Delaware River Valley were upset because they did not have forts, yet they were being asked to pay for forts to protect another colony, which they opposed. Further, their economic interests and safety were at risk and they wanted protection. The Delaware delegates were also concerned that pacifist Quaker policies put them at risk.
1701 — During the Assembly meetings, some delegates questioned whether laws passed at sessions held in Delaware legally applied to Pennsylvania. Delaware argued if that was the case, then laws passed in Pennsylvania could not apply to Delaware. The Delaware delegates walked out of the meetings.
1701 — Penn resolved the issues by agreeing to the Constitution of 1701, which is also known as “The Charter of Privileges.” Penn agreed to allow Delaware to establish its own Assembly, which was allowed to propose laws and approve legislation specifically for Delaware.
1701 — Two surveyors, Isaac Taylor and Thomas Pierson, established the 12 Mile Circle Boundary, which formed most of the boundary between Delaware and Pennsylvania.
1703 — A group of Welsh Baptists settled between Newark and Glasgow.
1704 — In November, the first Delaware Assembly met at New Castle. William Rodney of Kent was the speaker. Each county sent four representatives. The Assembly reaffirmed all the previous joint assembly laws and increased each county’s delegation to six representatives. Despite the success of passing laws, there was tension between New Castle and the Southern Counties. New Castle wanted to establish itself as the main commercial center for Delaware, due to its proximity and economic ties to Philadelphia.
1707 — A new fort was built at New Castle, which required all ships to report to the commander when they passed. This was protested by a group of merchants in Philadelphia.
1709 — A group of men from the Delaware Assembly petitioned the Crown for complete separation from Pennsylvania.
1712 — Faced with financial problems, Penn attempted to sell his governing rights over Pennsylvania and Delaware to the Crown. He eventually agreed to sell the rights for £12,000 but retained ownership of the land. Unfortunately, Penn suffered a severe stroke, from which he never fully recovered.
1717 — William Keith was appointed Lieutenant Governor of Delaware, and Dover Green was laid out per an order issued by Penn in 1683.
1718 — Penn died, leaving his wife Hannah in charge of the proprietorship over the two colonies. She was in charge of executing Penn’s will and managed to retain the Penn family’s influence over Delaware for a few more years.
1720s — In the 1720s, while the Penn estate was being settled in England, Governor Keith started to act like a Royal Governor. He appointed new courts, introduced a new criminal code, and relocated to New Castle County, where he purchased an extensive tract known as Keithsborough and built an ironworks.
1724 — Governor Keith overstepped his authority by expanding the boundaries of New Castle and granting it a new city charter in the name of the King, without mentioning the Penn Family.

APUSH Definition
Delaware Colony for APUSH is defined as one of the original 13 American colonies established by European settlers during the 17th century. Originally settled by the Dutch in the early 17th century and later controlled by the Swedes and English, It was geographically and politically linked to Pennsylvania and shared the same governor for much of its early history. Delaware played a significant role in American independence, ratifying the U.S. Constitution in 1787 as the first state to do so, earning the nickname “The First State.” Its strategic location along the Delaware River, with access to Delaware Bay and the Atlantic Ocean, contributed to the economy and growth of Delaware during the Colonial Era.
APUSH Significance
The significance of the Delaware Colony for APUSH is that it was one of the early European settlements in North America and became one of the 13 Original Colonies that declared independence from Great Britain in 1776 and founded the United States of America.

The Colony of Delaware
|
https://delawarecommerce.weebly.com/geography.html
|
As you can tell from the map on the left, Delaware's natural resources include corn, strawberries, and watermelon. The natural resource varies from each region of our colony. In the maps below, you can locate our urban centers: Wilmington, Dover, Newark, Elsmere, Milford, and Rehoboth Beach. The river that runs through our colony, Nanticoke River is also marked down below.
More Information
The colony covers about 2,489 square miles and is one of the smaller colonies. In some areas, Delaware is 100 miles long and 30 miles wide.
Delaware's geographical features are represented on the maps to the left. Delaware's many rivers lead into the Delaware Bay, a passage to the Atlantic Ocean. The largest of the main three rivers is the Delaware River. The Mispillion and the Nanticoke River run through Delaware as well, and ports can be found at the mouths of the Delaware and the Mispillion River. They are active and were used often for trade. Our port gives Delaware a major advantage in industries such as trade.

Delaware Bayshore Byway
|
https://delawarebayshorebyway.org/destinations/historic-new-castle/
|
Founded in 1640, New Castle is among the oldest cities in America. As the capital of the region and of colonial Delaware, New Castle played a pivotal role in the formative era of the United States. Located on the Delaware River just six miles south of Wilmington, the city serves as the northern gateway to the Delaware Bayshore Byway.
A stroll through the historic district will transport you back to the 1700s when the seeds of a new country were taking root. Learn about the life of settlers and colonists with a walking tour or visits to the historic homes, churches and government buildings that now serve as museums of the era.
At the New Castle Court House Museum you can learn about the Underground Railroad and the trials of abolitionists Thomas Garrett and John Hunn, who helped over 2,500 slaves find safe passage to freedom in the mid-1800s.
After visiting the museums, shops and restaurants of the historic district, you can enjoy the fresh air with a walk along the Delaware River or through Battery Park. Or, for a longer adventure, you can hike or cycle along the Jack A. Markell Trail which connects historic New Castle with the Wilmington Riverwalk.
For nature enthusiasts, there’s also the Broad Dyke Wetlands Nature Area to explore. It provides habitat for a variety of species and is a wonderful place to observe wildlife.
For those whose interests can lie on the water, the Kalmar Nyckel, Tall Ship of Delaware docks in Historic New Castle, throughout the year on its route up the coast.
With so many places to see and so much to learn, you’ll want to stop by the New Castle Visitor Center at The Arsenal for guides, maps and brochures. They’re open Friday through Sunday.
For those looking to explore more of Delaware’s history, the Byway, as it travels through Historic New Castle is also a section of the Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad Byway, with pivotal events occurring like the trials mentioned above in the Courthouse, and many others along its 98 miles through Delaware.

Written by: Thomas Kidd, Baylor University
As he disembarked from his ship onto the western shore of the Delaware River in 1682, William Penn surveyed the green country in front of him. The thirty-eight-year-old Englishman could not help contrasting this strange, expansive land with memories of the cramped prison cell he had occupied twenty years earlier back in England.
Penn was part of a religious sect known as the Society of Friends. Its members were called “Quakers” by their enemies because their intense meetings sometimes led members to shake in fits of spiritual fervor. During the 1660s, Englishmen harshly persecuted the Quakers, whom they considered to be dangerous radicals because of their teachings on social and religious equality. Even though he was an English aristocrat, the young Penn had been imprisoned for his illegal preaching and publication of Quaker doctrines. As a result, he became an ardent activist for religious freedom. During the 1670s, he began to dream of a colony where Quakers – and all kinds of Christians – would be free to worship as they saw fit. This dream became a reality when King Charles II offered him title to a large expanse of land in the New World to pay off a substantial debt the crown owed to Penn’s family. Now, in 1682, Penn finally stood on the shores of the colony of Pennsylvania.
Penn had high hopes that the colony would enjoy religious freedom, as well as peace with the Lenni Lenapes and other American Indians who had lived in this land for centuries. Like all Quakers, he was a pacifist, and he was adamant that his new colony would avoid the bloodshed and war between Indians and other English colonists that had occurred in New England and Virginia. One year before his trip across the Atlantic Ocean, Penn had written a letter to the “Kings of the Indians,” explaining that he was coming to settle in their land. He regretted the “unkindness and injustice” that Indians had experienced from other Europeans and promised that Pennsylvania would be different. Because God commanded his people to love others, his colony would treat the Indians with honesty, fairness, and peace.
Having arrived, Penn worked on bringing his plans to fruition. The Quakers refused to take any land unless the Indians agreed to it. During the first couple of years, Penn purchased land from the Lenape and Susquehannock leaders, including large areas along the Delaware and Schuylkill Rivers. As he stood side by side with the Indian leaders and signed the purchase contracts, he may have felt a measure of pride that his land was being honestly bought rather than stolen from the Indians. However, he did not realize that these peaceful transactions were being aided by forces beyond his control. Since Europeans had arrived in the New World, disease and war had reduced the Lenni Lenapes to a mere five thousand people. Their alliance with the English thus provided much-needed protection from their rivals, the Iroquois League, the most powerful Indian alliance in the region, and contributed to their willingness to sell their land.
Not long after the ink on the purchase agreement was dry, the Quakers began to build a city on the land between the Delaware and Schuylkill rivers. They optimistically proclaimed that their capital would be a “City of Brotherly Love.” The capital’s grid-patterned streets were soon bustling. Only four years after Penn landed, the colony was home to a diverse group of more than eight thousand settlers of many different religions and ethnicities: Quakers, Anglicans, Dutch Calvinists, German Lutherans, and many Christians who had been persecuted in England – including Presbyterians, Baptists, and Catholics. These colonists had to obey Pennsylvania’s moral laws – no swearing, no “wildness,” and certainly no “whoredom or fornication”, to promote a healthy civic society. However, they were free to practice their own religion as long as they believed in “the one Almighty and eternal God.”
In spite of good intentions to foster religious harmony and toleration, the City of Brotherly Love was not entirely peaceful. In the early 1690s, a Quaker missionary and pastor named George Keith grew concerned that Philadelphia’s Quakers had departed from the teaching of the Bible, relying too much on the “inward light” of the Spirit. The leading Quakers thought him too divisive and removed him as pastor. Keith ignored this judgment and increased his criticism, arguing that Quaker ministers had been corrupted by their own political influence. After he proclaimed that the top Quaker magistrate’s “name would stink,” Keith was indicted for libel. The dispute culminated in an attempt by Keith and his followers to set up their own gallery in the Philadelphia meetinghouse, at which point a brawl broke out and both galleries were destroyed. Keith’s followers eventually dwindled in number, and he returned to England. This dispute showed the difficulty Quakers had in maintaining authority and religious orthodoxy in their own city. Even though Pennsylvania aspired to harmony between Christians of all kinds, it still experienced strife and rivalry within its own denominations.
Nonetheless, Penn’s colony was undoubtedly a religious and commercial success. The prospect of religious freedom attracted many middle-class merchants, farmers, and traders from Europe, and Philadelphia’s population quickly surpassed that of the much older New York City. Commerce flourished as Philadelphia’s Quakers engaged in a profitable trade with their fellow Quakers in Boston, New York, and the West Indies. In spite of many Quakers’ reservations about slavery, slaves and slave trading did become common in Philadelphia. Moreover, many poor whites from Britain and Europe migrated as indentured servants and owed their labor for a time to their masters. However, the climate of the colony’s western backcountry favored the growing of wheat over the much more labor-intensive tobacco. As a result, fewer slaves were needed, and small, independent farms thrived.
William Penn’s experiment in religious and political liberty paid dividends for his colony. Philadelphia became a place where Quakers, Baptists, and Presbyterians all practiced their religion freely without an established church. The capital also had a growing economy. Pennsylvania treated American Indians with justice even as the settlers moved west and established prosperous small farms. The colony became a model of religious liberty and justice in British North America.

Delaware Bayshore Byway
|
https://delawarebayshorebyway.org/destinations/historic-new-castle/
|
Founded in 1640, New Castle is among the oldest cities in America. As the capital of the region and of colonial Delaware, New Castle played a pivotal role in the formative era of the United States. Located on the Delaware River just six miles south of Wilmington, the city serves as the northern gateway to the Delaware Bayshore Byway.
A stroll through the historic district will transport you back to the 1700s when the seeds of a new country were taking root. Learn about the life of settlers and colonists with a walking tour or visits to the historic homes, churches and government buildings that now serve as museums of the era.
At the New Castle Court House Museum you can learn about the Underground Railroad and the trials of abolitionists Thomas Garrett and John Hunn, who helped over 2,500 slaves find safe passage to freedom in the mid-1800s.
After visiting the museums, shops and restaurants of the historic district, you can enjoy the fresh air with a walk along the Delaware River or through Battery Park. Or, for a longer adventure, you can hike or cycle along the Jack A. Markell Trail which connects historic New Castle with the Wilmington Riverwalk.
For nature enthusiasts, there’s also the Broad Dyke Wetlands Nature Area to explore. It provides habitat for a variety of species and is a wonderful place to observe wildlife.
For those whose interests can lie on the water, the Kalmar Nyckel, Tall Ship of Delaware docks in Historic New Castle, throughout the year on its route up the coast.
With so many places to see and so much to learn, you’ll want to stop by the New Castle Visitor Center at The Arsenal for guides, maps and brochures. They’re open Friday through Sunday.
For those looking to explore more of Delaware’s history, the Byway, as it travels through Historic New Castle is also a section of the Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad Byway, with pivotal events occurring like the trials mentioned above in the Courthouse, and many others along its 98 miles through Delaware.

At least 11,500 years ago people were living in the area now called Delaware. They’re thought to have come from Asia by way of a land bridge that’s now underwater. Thousands of years later Native American tribes including the Lenni Lenape and the Nanticoke lived on the land.
Historians think the first European to arrive was English explorer Henry Hudson, who reached the area’s bay and river in 1609. During the 1600s, Dutch, English, and Swedish colonists settled on the land. These Europeans fought for the land, and in 1674 the English officially regained control of the territory. But in 1776 Delaware declared its independence from England, one of the actions that would result in the Revolutionary War. After the United States had won the war, Delaware became a U.S. state in 1787.
When the Civil War began in 1861, Delaware was a state where slavery was legal. But the vast majority of its troops fought for the Union, which was the group of northern states that was fighting in support of keeping the states together. (Supporters of the Union side also generally wanted to abolish slavery, while the southern states wanted to keep the practice.) In 1865 the Thirteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution declared all slaves in the United States, including in Delaware, to be free people.
Delaware sits on an east coast peninsula called the Delmarva. It’s bordered by Pennsylvania in the north; the Delaware River, the Delaware Bay, New Jersey, and Atlantic Ocean in the east; and Maryland in the south and west.
The state generally slopes downward from the hilly Piedmont region, which covers the northern edge of the state. The rest of Delaware is covered by the low Atlantic Coastal Plain, which contains three state forests: Blackbird, Taber, and Redden. There are sandy beaches along the eastern coastline, and at the state’s southern border, the plain becomes swampland.
—President Joe Biden is one of Delaware’s famous folks, and so is Howard Pyle, the author of the novel The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood.
—The tidal salt marsh at Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge hosts migrating birds including sandpipers, plovers, American black ducks, and salt marsh sparrows.
—Fans watch NASCAR races at the Dover International Speedway, nicknamed the Monster Mile. A 46-foot statue of a monster holds a full-size car in its hand in front of the track.
—The Johnson Victrola Museum displays early music-making machines such as gramophones; phonographs with flower-shaped horns; and some of the first record players, which were called Victrolas.

Today’s Delaware counties did not always exist in the present form. They went through many different changes in the space of a few short years.
Delaware Colony Counties
Following the English conquest of 1664, all of the land on the western side of the Delaware River and Delaware Bay was governed as part of the New York Colony and administered from the town of New Castle.
During the brief recapture of the colony by the Dutch in 1673, additional court districts were created around Upland and Whorekill. The latter was also known as Hoornkill, and is now the town of Lewes.
The court at New Castle was left with the central portion of the colony. The jurisdiction left to the court at became New Castle County, and the county seat remained at New Castle until 1881 when it was moved to Wilmington.
In 1680, Whorekill District was divided into Deale County and St. Jones County. After this division, Lewes became the county seat of Deale, which was later renamed Sussex County. The former Upland District was named after the New Sweden settlement of Upland, and was renamed Chester County in 1682. Chester County is now located within the present boundaries of Pennsylvania.
Lord Baltimore, the Proprietor of Maryland, claimed all present-day Delaware, and organized its northern and eastern portions as Durham County, Maryland.
However, this county existed only on paper. The southern and western portions of present-day Sussex County were organized as portions of several adjacent Maryland counties and were not recognized as part of Delaware until the Mason-Dixon Survey was run in 1767.
In 1791, with the expansion of Sussex County to the south and west, the county seat was moved to Georgetown. The county seat of St. Jones (renamed Kent County in 1681) is at Dover.
The State of Delaware entered the union as the 1st state on December 7, 1787.
Delaware Counties Today
Today, Delaware is divided into 3 counties. States bordering Delaware are Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Maryland.
The divisions, or “hundreds” as they are called, comes from the times when Delaware and Maryland were colonial holdings of Great Britain. While Delaware alone retains the use of “hundreds”, the origin of most “place names” in both states can be traced back to the times of British rule.
After 2000, a fourth “Appoquinimink County” was proposed to be carved out of New Castle County. The effort intended to end the zoning restrictions of the Unified Development Code on the undeveloped farmland. The proposed boundaries extended beyond the Appoquinimink Hundred to include all land south of the C&D Canal, with Middletown as the proposed seat.

Historic New Castle, Delaware is located just 10 minutes south of downtown Wilmington with easy access from I-95 and I-295. Overlooking the Delaware River, Historic New Castle is the oldest continuously occupied town in the Delaware Valley. And, thanks to preservation efforts, this vibrant, fully occupied community remains one of the most important Colonial/Federal villages in America – second only to Williamsburg, Virginia in the number and authenticity of its historic structures. The New Castle Court House Museum is part of the the First State National Historical Park.
New Castle, originally named Fort Casimir, was founded in 1651 by Peter Stuyvesant, who was sent to provide the Dutch with command of all river traffic. Because of its strategic location, ownership of the settlement was constantly changing. The flags of the Netherlands, Sweden and Great Britain have all flown over New Castle.
The three counties which make up the state of Delaware were added to William Penn’s lands in America. In 1682, Penn came ashore at New Castle and took possession, but these counties, which were well established, became dissatisfied with Penn’s rule. In 1704, when he granted them a separate legislature, New Castle became the colonial capitol of Delaware. The lively town also briefly served as the first state capital, and continued as the county seat until the 1880’s.
New Castle’s location made it an ideal transfer point for trips up and down the coast. As a result, New Castle was a thriving community throughout the 1700’s and early 1800’s. The courts and general assembly also attracted various judges, lawyers and government officials who built handsome houses, many of which still remain. The Great Fire of 1824, which started in the stables behind the Jefferson House, claimed many of the inns and warehouses located on The Strand. Among the buildings destroyed was the modest home of George Read, signer of the Declaration on Independence and the Constitution.
Unlike many historic communities, New Castle is a residential town where people live and work. Each house reflects the individuality of its past and present owners. Because New Castle has been named a National Landmark Historic Area, all renovations and restorations are carefully supervised.
This small, picturesque City allows vacationers, as well as business travelers, a refreshing respite from the pressures of daily life. Whether you are enjoying the beaches, the Brandywine Valley, or other treasures of Delaware, be sure to include New Castle in your itinerary.

New Castle, Delaware — this historic town along the Delaware River was once a hub of colonial activity as blacksmiths, carpenters and coopers went about the business of daily life.
The colonists are long gone, but the 500 remaining historic structures are a reminder of a time when gentlemen squires dressed in breeches and tricorn hats lived here.
A few buildings serve as house museums; others are restaurants, galleries and shops, but private citizens live in the majority of the brick sidewalk-hugging homes.
Mike Connolly, executive director of the New Castle Historical Society, said the museums and visitors center are closed because of COVID-19, but visitors can walk around town and learn its history. The historic district lends itself to meandering, and Connolly said he is always discovering something new — despite living here for 27 years.
Visitors can eat a picnic lunch on the town green or explore the alleyways, gardens and church cemeteries — where signers of the Declaration of Independence, former governors and Revolutionary War soldiers are buried.
New Castle was Delaware’s first capital, but its history begins when the Dutch settled here for the lucrative fur trade in 1651. Then the Swedes pushed them out in 1654. The Dutch regained control in 1655, and finally the English claimed the land for good in 1664.
William Penn took his first step on American soil in New Castle in 1682 and made it part of Pennsylvania by dividing the colony’s southern part into New Castle, Kent and Sussex counties.
The New Castle Court House Museum, at the center of town, was first built in 1689. It burned down and was rebuilt in 1732, and it’s where local lawmakers met on June 15, 1776, and declared independence from Pennsylvania and England and established Delaware as a state. The date, known as Separation Day, is a big celebration in town.
It also was at this courthouse where abolitionist Thomas Garrett — a friend of Harriet Tubman — was tried and convicted for helping slaves escape to freedom with the Underground Railroad. The trial left him bankrupt but not bitter, because he gave an impassioned speech saying he would do it all again.
The court moved to Wilmington in 1881 and the building was used as a police station, mayor’s office, and restaurant and tearoom, where child star Shirley Temple had lunch with her mother while waiting for the ferry to New Jersey.
New Castle’s cobblestone, tree-lined streets feature architectural styles from Georgian to Victorian to the hexagonal-shaped Old Library Museum. An exhibit about two New Castle women who had opposing views of the suffrage movement is planned at the museum this summer, Connolly said.
Homes of note include the one-room colonial-style Dutch House, built circa 1690, where a tradesman and his family lived; the grand Georgian-style Amstel House, built in 1738, where George Washington visited for a wedding in 1784; and the Read house, built in 1804, a Federal-style mansion overlooking the Delaware River.

NEW CASTLE
NEW CASTLE, a colonial settlement in Delaware founded by the Dutch in 1651 as Fort Casimir, was established to compete with the Swedish-controlled trade with the Indians along the Delaware River. Three years later, in May of 1654, it was surrendered to the Swedish governor and renamed Fort Trinity, only to be recaptured in 1655 by Peter Stuyvesant to operate under the Dutch West India Company. It was renamed again in 1656, this time New Amstel, by the burgomasters of the city of Amsterdam, and finally renamed New Castle in 1664 after surrender to Sir Robert Carr. It was governed by the Duke of York until 1682, when ownership was transferred to William Penn.
William Penn's colony, a haven for Quakers and other persecuted sects attracted by his policy of religious toleration, had been formed with a proprietary charter received in 1681 from the Crown designating him governor. In 1682, Penn was granted the three lower Delaware counties of Newcastle, Kent, and Sussex, all of which eventually separated from Pennsylvania to become the colony of Delaware in 1773. Under Penn's governorship, New Castle was the seat of the assembly of the Lower Counties, the seat of New Castle County at the outbreak of the Revolutionary War in 1776, and the capital of Delaware until the British invaded in 1777 and moved the capital to Dover.
New Castle was part of the Middle Colonies (New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Delaware), the only part of British North America initially settled by non-English Europeans. Society in the Middle Colonies was a mix of Dutch Calvinists, Scandinavian Lutherans, German Baptists, Swiss Pietists, Welsh Quakers, French Huguenots, Scots Presbyterians, and a sizable African slave population. The English were a clear minority. New settlers tended to stay with their own kind, creating a region characterized by a cultural localism that expressed itself in politics, thus creating a burgeoning conflict with the English settlers committed to British imperial objectives and English culture, including the Anglican Church. Local government included an elected assembly representing the people, and assemblymen were expected to advocate for their constituents' cultural, religious, and economic concerns. These concerns frequently were at odds with the governors' imperial objectives. English policy was intent on subordinating the interests of the colonies to those of the mother country and frequently was the cause of disputes between various colonial leaders. In one such incident, in 1696, Francis Nicholson, the governor of Maryland, took offense at Pennsylvania governor William Markham's reluctance to carry out imperial reform and dispatched troops to New Castle to arrest the pirate John Day, whom Markham had hired to defend the Delaware Capes against French privateers. Political success in such an atmosphere involved complex compromises that, although beneficial in the short term, ultimately proved divisive, diluting local power and undermining local leaders largely incapable of sustained stability. The growth of the Atlantic economy after the decline of the fur trade, the increasing importance of the major port cities of Philadelphia and New York, and the spread of Anglican congregations beyond their origin communities forecast the future social configurations and political culture of what would eventually become the United States.

The Delaware Colony was one of the 13 original colonies in America, which were divided into three regions including the New England Colonies, the Middle Colonies, and the Southern Colonies. The Delaware Colony was one of the four Middle Colonies which also included the Pennsylvania Colony, the New York Colony, and the New Jersey Colony. The Delaware Colony was founded in 1638 by Peter Minuit. The Delaware Colony was named after its major river the Delaware River, which was named after Sir Thomas West, also known as Lord de la Warr, one of Virginia Colony's early governors.

Interesting Delaware Colony Facts: Major religious groups in the Delaware Colony included Quakers, Catholics, Jews, and Lutherans. There was no dominating religion like in the New England Colonies and religious tolerance made the area attractive to those who were not purists. Major towns in the Delaware Colony included Georgetown and Wilmington. The Delaware Colony was divided into three counties in 1682 including New Castle, Sussex, and Kent. The major agricultural industries in the Delaware Colony included livestock, indigo (a dye), grain, wheat, and rice. Manufacturing in the Delaware Colony included products derived from iron ore such as nails, locks, kettles, tools, and plows. A lot of these products were exported to England. Natural resources in the Delaware Colony included farmland, forest (timber), coal, furs, fish, and iron ore. The Delaware Colony's landscape includes Atlantic coastal plains and flat lowland. Delaware`s southern region is made up of more than 30,000 swampy acres. The Delaware Colony's mild climate made farming and agricultural pursuits feasible for the colonists. The Delaware Colony was often referred to as the breadbasket colony. The colony grew a lot of wheat (which is used to make bread), and after being ground into four it was exported to England. A Delaware Colony farmer's property usually included between 50 and 150 acres with a house, yard, and barn. In 1664 the British gained control of the Delaware Colony. William Penn was given the deed by the Duke of York, and from 1682 to 1701 it was governed under Pennsylvania. In 1701 the Lower Counties, which included Delaware Colony petitioned for independent colonial legislature. Despite being granted its request, the Delaware Colony continued to share Pennsylvania's governor until 1776. In 1776 the Delaware Colony's assembly voted to break ties with Pennsylvania and with England as well, essentially declaring its independence in a document signed by representatives from all 13 colonies. It joined in the rebellion against Great Britain, along with the other 12 colonies, and laid the groundwork to becoming a U.S. state. The Delaware Colony was the first of the original 13 colonies to ratify the federal Constitution. The Delaware Colony became a state on December 7th, 1787. Delaware encompasses 2,489 square miles. It is the smallest state but also one of the most densely populated states in the U.S. Nicknames given to Delaware over the years include The First State, The Diamond State, the Blue Hen State, and Small Wonder. Delaware's motto is 'Liberty and Independence'.

Ethnic and Religious Makeup
Our population consists mostly of people from the Netherlands, people from Sweden, people from the British Isles, slaves from Africa, some Germans, and a few remaining Native Americans. As for religion, there isn't a specific dominant religion. We have Catholics, Quakers, Lutherans, Jews, and other. Our diverse colony is about freedom, with many farmers and ranchers, and immigrants from all over Europe and more.
There are lots of jobs available in Delaware. Some jobs include working in merchant mills, in which you would be able to make flour in. Other jobs include but are not limited to work in coopering or barrel making industries, shipbuilding areas, lumber industry, fishing, farming and ranching, and the shoe and boot industry where shoes and boots are made from animal skin, Delaware's diverse culture includes many job industries to work in, allowing immigrants from various countries to find something that they are talented in, and unique businesses to come.

Relief
Delaware, located mainly within the Atlantic Coastal Plain, is second only to Florida for having the lowest average elevation. A long sand beach forms the state’s oceanfront, stretching from the border with Maryland, at Fenwick Island, north to Cape Henlopen, at the mouth of Delaware Bay. Only one major break, Indian River Inlet, occurs along the 23-mile (37-km) length of the beach. Much of the beach is a low bar between the ocean and a series of lagoons or shallow bays, but at Bethany Beach, near the southern boundary, and again at Rehoboth Beach, near the northern end, the mainland reaches directly to the ocean.

Guess the U.S. State by Its Neighbors
Much of the shoreline of Delaware Bay is marshy. The mouths of tributaries such as the Murderkill, the Mispillion, and the St. Jones are so shallow that only fishing boats find safe harbours north of Lewes. Farther north, on the banks of the Delaware River, spots of high, dry land appear, as at Port Penn, New Castle, and Edgemoor. The state’s main port, at Wilmington, is located at the confluence of the Delaware River and the Christina, one of its tributaries.
Most of Delaware is drained by streams that run eastward to the Delaware River, Delaware Bay, and the Atlantic Ocean, but the Nanticoke River and its tributaries in southwestern Delaware flow into Chesapeake Bay. So does the Pocomoke River, which drains the Cypress Swamp, or so-called “Burnt Swamp,” in the extreme south of Delaware, athwart the Maryland line.
Most of the Coastal Plain is fertile and level, seldom rising above 60 feet (18 metres) above sea level, but it becomes increasingly sandy to the south. Near its northern edge the plain is intersected by the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal, which has been deepened and straightened for ocean shipping. It shortens the water route between Philadelphia and Baltimore, Md., by several hundred miles and also brings Baltimore closer to the ocean than via Chesapeake Bay. The canal is popularly considered to be the boundary between agricultural downstate Delaware and the northern industrial region. Though the land on either side of it is similar, many Delawareans are convinced that even the weather changes at the canal.
Several high bridges over the canal, the giant twin bridges crossing the Delaware River north of New Castle, and the refinery stacks at Delaware City are the major landmarks on the horizon below the northwestern corner of the state, where the rolling hills of the Piedmont extend south from Pennsylvania. Until the mid-20th century, farmlands, woodlands, streams, and ponds, interspersed by occasional villages, made up most of the state’s landscape to the south of Wilmington. Suburban housing has spread out to encompass the area on either side of the canal and has encroached on New Castle county’s remaining farmland.
The highest point in the state—just off Ebright Road in New Castle county, near the Pennsylvania state line—is only 448 feet (137 metres) above sea level. Peculiar features are Iron and Chestnut hills, which protrude into the plain southwest of Newark and are scarred by open pits where iron ore once was mined.

Delaware Colony was part of the Middle Colonies and played a pivotal role in the ratification of the Declaration of Independence. It was originally settled by the Swedish and Dutch under the leadership of Peter Minuit but fell under English control in the mid-17th century.
The land that became Delaware was deeded to William Penn and was eventually separated from Pennsylvania and became its own colony with its own government. By the time of the American Revolutionary War, Delaware delegates were reluctant to break from Great Britain.
A midnight ride by delegate Caesar Rodney helped secure Delaware's vote for independence.

Delaware Colony Facts: Early Settlements
From the early Dutch settlement in 1631 to the colony's rule by Pennsylvania in 1682, the land that later became the U.S. state of Delaware changed hands many times. Due to the constant change, Delaware became an eclectic society with various religious beliefs and cultures.
Henry Hudson was the first European explorer to explore the Delaware Valley. He sailed into the Delaware River (He named the South River) while searching for the Northwest Passage.
In 1610, Samuel Argyll was blown off course and sailed into the same location. Argyll renamed the river the Delaware River after the second governor of Virginia Colony, Lord De La Warr.
By 1615, the area had been mapped appropriately, and a Dutch settlement was founded.
The development of Delaware was slow but saw some growth when a small group of fishermen established the Zwaanendael Colony to take advantage of the whaling industry.
However, this colony was short-lived when the natives massacred the colonists over a misunderstanding.
The Dutch tried to settle the area again with 50 more settlers, but the colony did not last, and the Dutch West India Company moved the settlers from Delaware to New Amsterdam.
The first permanent settlement in Delaware came in March of 1638. The country that settled the area was not one of the world powers at the time.
New Sweden was established and by the New Sweden Company and, led by Peter Minuit. This endeavor became one of the first multi-cultural colonies in the New World.
Germans, Finns, Dutch, Belgians (known as Walloons), and, of course, Swedes settled in Delaware. The colony survived until 1655 and would eventually be taken over by the Dutch.
In 1664, the British captured New Amsterdam and sent a detachment to Delaware. In this unfortunate conquest, many of Delaware's settlers were treated terribly and brutally killed or enslaved.
The English took control of the colony, and it remained in their control until declaring their independence from Great Britain in 1776. There were some border disputes with Maryland and Pennsylvania, but nothing major took place.
Delaware Colony Facts: Declaration of Independence
Delaware played an influential role at the beginning and during the American Revolutionary War. There were only two battles that took place in Delaware during the war, and neither had much influence on the outcome. Delaware's influence was not due to battles but due to their legislatures.
Caesar Rodney and Thomas McKean supported the vote for Independence, but George Read did not. This was a problem, and men such as John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, and Richard Henry Lee knew they needed a unanimous vote to unify the colonies.
Thomas McKean sent word to Caesar Rodney, who battled many health problems, that George Read was not going to cast a vote for independence and that the only way Delaware could be carried is if Rodney could make it to Philadelphia in time.
In one of the most daring rides during the war, Rodney braved terrible weather and health to arrive at Independence Hall. He arrived just as the vote was being cast and was able to secure Delaware's vote for independence.
The mini-series John Adams had a nice depiction of the events. In the video below, you can hear one of the delegates whisper at the beginning, "Mr. Rodney is not here."
Then, just as the voting is getting started, you will see a tall man with a bandage on his head and a short man walking him to their seat. The tall man was Caesar Rodney, and the other was Thomas McKean.

New Castle, city, New Castle county, northern Delaware, U.S. It is just south of Wilmington on the Delaware River, there linked to New Jersey by the twin spans of the Delaware Memorial Bridge. The original settlement, called Santhoeck, was established in 1651, when Peter Stuyvesant, the Dutch administrator, built Fort Casimir there. The settlement was seized by the Swedes in 1654 but was regained by the Dutch in 1655. It was named New Amstel and was made the Dutch capital of the southern Delaware region, but it was renamed in 1664 (probably for William Cavendish, earl and, from 1665, 1st duke of Newcastle-upon-Tyne), after its capture by the British that year. William Penn, the English Quaker, took possession of it in 1682. An early cultural centre, New Castle was the seat of the Lower Counties-on-Delaware (1704–76). On September 21, 1776, a convention of counties meeting there proclaimed a constitution and formed the state of Delaware; New Castle served briefly as state capital until it was moved to Dover in 1777. Three signers of the Declaration of Independence (George Read, George Ross, and Thomas McKean) at one time lived in New Castle.
The Immanuel Church (Episcopal; 1703, rebuilt after it burned in 1980) is a historic landmark. Other colonial landmarks include Amstel House Museum (c. 1730); Old Dutch House, perhaps the state’s oldest dwelling, built in the late 1600s and now maintained as a museum; the New Castle Court House (1732, restored to its 1804 appearance); and the Green (town square), laid out by Stuyvesant in 1655. Wilmington College was opened in 1968 in New Castle. The city has light industries. Inc. 1875. Pop. (2000) 4,862; (2010) 5,285.

New Castle Map
New Castle is a city in New Castle County, Delaware, six miles (10 km) south of Wilmington, situated on the Delaware River, at the head of Delaware Bay. In 1900, 3,380 people lived here; in 1910, 3,351. According to the 2010 Census, the population of the city is 5,285.
New Castle was originally settled by the Dutch West India Company in 1651, under the leadership of Peter Stuyvesant, on the site of a former aboriginal village, "Tomakonck" ("Place of the Beaver"), to assert their claim to the area based on a prior agreement with the aboriginal inhabitants of the area. The Dutch originally named the settlement Fort Casimir, but this was changed to Fort Trinity (Swedish: Trefaldighet) following its seizure by the colony of New Sweden on Trinity Sunday, 1654. The Dutch conquered the entire colony of New Sweden the following year and rechristened the fort Nieuw Amstel ("New Amstel"). This marked the end of the Swedish colony in Delaware as an official entity, but it remained a semi-autonomous unit within the New Netherland colony and the cultural, social, and religious influence of the Swedish settlers remained strong. As the settlement grew, Dutch authorities laid out a grid of streets and established the town common (The "Green"), which continue to this day.
In 1664, the English seized the entire New Netherland colony in the Second Anglo-Dutch War and changed the name of the town to "New Castle." The Dutch regained the town in 1673 during the Third Anglo-Dutch War but it was returned to Great Britain the next year under the Treaty of Westminster. In 1680, New Castle was conveyed to William Penn by the Duke of York and was Penn's landing place when he first set foot on American soil on October 27, 1682. This transfer to Penn was contested by Lord Baltimore and the boundary dispute was not resolved until the survey conducted by Mason and Dixon, now famed in history as the Mason-Dixon Line.

Becoming New Castle New Castle is a city that has continually faced and adapted to change. At various points in history, it has been a colonial capital, a transportation hub, and a center for commerce and industry. The arc that defines Delaware’s unique northern boundary was first surveyed in 1701, and is based on a circle with a 12-mile radius emanating from New Castle. New Castle’s designation as “The Center of the Circle” is significant not only for the purpose of defining boundaries, but also for establishing New Castle as central to life in Delaware. Transportation New Castle was founded by the Dutch in 1651 as a military outpost called Fort Casimir. During the next 31 years, New Castle was alternately governed by the Dutch, Swedish, and British, changing hands five times. Finally under British control in 1682, New Castle and the three counties that make up the present state of Delaware were granted to William Penn by the Duke of York. Though part of the Pennsylvania colony, Penn granted the “Three Lower Counties on Delaware” their own assembly in 1704. New Castle became the center of colonial government and the courts in the Three Lower Counties. In June of 1776, when Delaware separated permanently from Pennsylvania and declared independence from Great Britain, New Castle became Delaware’s first state capital. “Separation Day” is still celebrated every June in New Castle with parades, fireworks and other activities. New Castle was an important hub in the mid-Atlantic transportation network of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. With its small harbor on the southern end of the Delaware River, New Castle thrived as mercantile & passenger ships and packet boats sailed towards Philadelphia or out to sea. Land and rail routes were also important to transportation development in the city. New Castle was located on the route from Philadelphia to Baltimore, and later Washington. Stagecoaches traveled along a turnpike between New Castle and Frenchtown (Elkton), Maryland, connecting the Delaware River with the Chesapeake Bay. In 1831, the stagecoaches were replaced by the New Castle and Frenchtown Railroad – one of the nation’s first railroads. In the 20th century, trolley lines connected New Castle with other area towns and cities like Wilmington. Regional travelers again were routed through New Castle as ferries served to connect the town to points in New Jersey, and served as a vital link in the travel route between New York City and Norfolk, Virginia. Business & Industry In its heyday, New Castle’s transportation system provided opportunities for businesses to serve travelers and supply ships. Local merchants located their establishments near the waterfront in order to serve and profit from incoming traffic. Taverns and inns provided workers, sailors, and passengers with food, drink, and lodging. Merchants supplied outgoing ships with necessary supplies, such as livestock, before departing for extended voyages, while others purchased goods from incoming ships for resale to local residents. The river also provided an opportunity for New Castle to develop a thriving fishing industry. Until the beginning of the 20th century, shad and sturgeon fishing along the Delaware provided the residents of New Castle with a significant source of income. New Castle’s fishing industry died out around World War I due to river pollution and increased shipping traffic. In the second half of the 19th century, after transportation-related opportunities disappeared, New Castle looked toward industrialization for its economic future. Industries established here included flour, cotton and woolen mills, iron works, a steam engine works, umbrella and glove factories, steel mills, and an aircraft plant. Small businesses that served New Castle’s industrial workers prospered during this time as well. Grocers, butchers, milliners, bakers, shoemakers, harness makers, clothiers, jewelers, lumber yards, dairies, pharmacies, physicians and others made New Castle a self-sufficient town. Eventually, however, local industry closed, and New Castle residents began to commute to Wilmington and elsewhere for work. Automobile-centric development pulled commerce away from New Castle’s downtown businesses toward regional shopping centers and larger stores, eventually forcing the closure of most of New Castle’s essential businesses, and turning the city into a bedroom community. Diversity New Castle’s original Dutch settlers were soon followed by people from other European countries including Sweden, Finland, England, Scotland, Ireland, and Wales. By the late 17th century, New Castle’s population was a mix of nationalities – a microcosm of what the United States would eventually become. Europeans, notably the Dutch, brought enslaved Africans to America beginning in the 17th century. Enslaved Africans were in New Castle as early as 1662, and the town’s population of enslaved people grew through the early 18th century, until by the middle of the 18th century, one-third of the population of Southern New Castle County was enslaved. Beginning in the late 18th century, a trend toward manumission, or granting freedom to enslaved people, took hold in New Castle. By 1860, only 3% of Black individuals in New Castle County were enslaved, and none of them lived in the town of New Castle. Bolstered by their local abolitionist Quaker populations, both New Castle and Wilmington played significant roles in the Underground Railroad network that helped enslaved people flee north. Thomas Garrett, a prominent Wilmington Quaker, was tried at the New Castle Court House for assisting in the Underground Railroad. Industrialization in the nineteenth century attracted new immigrant groups to New Castle – particularly from Eastern Europe – including Poles, Austrians, Russians, and Lithuanians. Around the turn of the 20th century, Italian immigrants began arriving in New Castle, attracted by employment with the railroad and steel mills. Today, the city still has a close-knit Italian community centered around Ninth and Clayton Streets in the Shawtown neighborhood. Preservation in New Castle The preservation of the history, architecture and landscapes of New Castle began in the early 20th century and continues to be a focus of the city. Prompted by the work of the WPA Federal Writers Project to document the historic buildings of New Castle, a group of concerned citizens raised funds to buy the Amstel House in 1929, the town’s first formal preservation effort. This group evolved into the New Castle Historical Society. Today, the New Castle Historical Society is joined in preserving the town by all of the residents and property owners in the historic district, community organizations, the Delaware Historical Society, the Trustees of the New Castle Common, the City of New Castle and the State of Delaware. The City government supports historic preservation primarily through the Historic Area Commission. All new exterior construction projects in New Castle’s historic district require approval from the Historic Area Commission before a building permit will be issued. This review process helps ensure that New Castle preserves its historic integrity and character.

Newcastle upon Tyne – or simply ‘Newcastle’ as it is most commonly referred to – is one of the most iconic cities in Britain, famous for its industrial heritage, eponymous brown ale, popular nightlife and distinct regional ‘Geordie’ dialect.
Located in the North East of England on the banks of the River Tyne, the city has undergone several transformations since it began life as a Roman fort on Hadrian’s Wall in 122AD. The settlement was known as Pons Aelius, or Aelian Bridge in Latin, ‘Aelian’ being the family name of Emperor Hadrian. In the wake of the Roman’s departure from Britain in 410AD, Pons Aelius was renamed Monkchester and subsumed into the influential Anglo-Saxon Kingdom of Northumbria.
It was under Norman rule in 1080 that the city gained its current name. Difficulties between William the Conqueror and his oldest son Robert Curthose in Northern France between 1078 –1080 incited unrest in the North of England. In William’s absence, the Scottish King Malcolm III had plundered the lands between the River Tweed and the River Tees and the Northumbrians were unhappy with William’s failure to intervene. This culminated in a rebellion and the murder of the Earl of Northumbria in May 1080. The rebellion forced William into action and his half-brother Odo of Bayeux was sent to disperse the rebels and William’s son Robert, united with his father once more, was dispatched to deal with the Scots.
Having defeated Malcolm in Lothian in the autumn of 1080, Robert returned home via Monkchester where a wooden castle was built to fortify the area and ensure that its advantageous position as the main crossing point of the River Tyne remained under Norman control. The area was then called Novum Castellum, meaning ‘New Castle’ and a castle has remained on the site ever since. The stone Castle Keep which still remains today was built by Henry II between 1172-1177. The main gatehouse, known as the Black Gate, was built by Henry III between 1247-1250.
Newcastle remained a stronghold against invasions from the Scots during the Middle Ages, thanks in part to the 25 foot defensive stone wall which was erected in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries to encircle the town. Although the wall was largely destroyed in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, there are still a number of sections which remain today, particularly to the west of the city.
It was during the Middle Ages that the town flourished as a frontrunner in the wool trade, wool being a key commodity during medieval times. In recognition of its strategic position the town was favoured by the royals, receiving its own mayor in 1216 and becoming a county town in 1400 complete with its own sheriff. Even the decline of the wool trade in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries had little effect on Newcastle since a royal act in 1530 had decreed that all coal exports in the North East were shipped from Newcastle quayside, even coal which was not mined in the town. This allowed Newcastle to prosper as a regional centre for trade and halted the growth of local neighbours such as Sunderland, thus creating a rivalry which remains today.
During the English Civil War Newcastle suffered in its support of King Charles I – who gratefully bestowed the town’s motto: “Fortiter Defendit Triumphans” or triumphing by a bold defence – and was even briefly conquered by the Earl of Leven’s Scottish army. However, its prominent trade links were soon restored and it was business as usual after the Reformation when Newcastle began to trade and export products such as iron, slate and glass. Carr’s Bank, one of the first banks to appear outside the Capital, was also opened in Newcastle in 1755.
Cultural heritage
The commercial industry was not the only sector to flourish in Newcastle. By the eighteenth century the printing industry was the fourth biggest in UK (after London, Oxford and Cambridge) and the Newcastle Gazette and the Newcastle Courant were the first newspapers in circulation in northern England when they were introduced in 1710 and 1711. The establishment of the Literary and Philosophical Society of Newcastle upon Tyne in 1793 (or the Lit and Phil as it is affectionately referred to) attracted intellectuals and academics alike with its wide-ranging debates and plentiful literature in French, Spanish, German and Latin. The building even became the first to use electric lightbulbs when the inventor Joseph Swan chose the Lit and Phil as the showcase for his latest invention.
The industrial revolution
During the industrial revolution of 1750-1850, heavy industry thrived in Newcastle and its location made it an ideal base for building the ships and steam trains which powered the era. A number of advancements such as the invention of the steam turbine and the Davy lamp can also be credited to the town. This industrial expansion lead to a huge influx of people, with the population rising from 87,784 in 1851 to 266,671 in 1911 and the honour of city status in 1882. Affluent suburbs appeared on the outskirts of the city centre, made possible by the advancements in railways and tramways.
In the 1830’s the developer Richard Grainger and architect John Dobson redeveloped the city centre with the help of other notable architects to include much of the neoclassical architecture which is still evident in the city today.
The twentieth century and beyond
In contrast to the success of the eighteen and nineteenth centuries, Newcastle and the rest of Tyne and Wear saw a steady decline in heavy industry in the interwar period of the early twentieth century and unemployment grew steadily following the economic depression of the 1930s. The last remaining colliery in Newcastle closed in 1956 and the lack of investment and competitive Eastern European and South East Asian markets had a similar impact on the region’s ailing shipyards between 1970-1990.
However, over the past fifty years heavy industry has given way to a rise in the public and retail sectors and mass regeneration. Newcastle has transformed itself into a cultural landmark and is now renowned for being the business and social hub of the North East. In contrast to its industrial heritage, the city is also known for its environmental awareness and is even planning to become the first Carbon Neutral town in the UK.

New Castle, Delaware — this historic town along the Delaware River was once a hub of colonial activity as blacksmiths, carpenters and coopers went about the business of daily life.
The colonists are long gone, but the 500 remaining historic structures are a reminder of a time when gentlemen squires dressed in breeches and tricorn hats lived here.
A few buildings serve as house museums; others are restaurants, galleries and shops, but private citizens live in the majority of the brick sidewalk-hugging homes.
Mike Connolly, executive director of the New Castle Historical Society, said the museums and visitors center are closed because of COVID-19, but visitors can walk around town and learn its history. The historic district lends itself to meandering, and Connolly said he is always discovering something new — despite living here for 27 years.
Visitors can eat a picnic lunch on the town green or explore the alleyways, gardens and church cemeteries — where signers of the Declaration of Independence, former governors and Revolutionary War soldiers are buried.
New Castle was Delaware’s first capital, but its history begins when the Dutch settled here for the lucrative fur trade in 1651. Then the Swedes pushed them out in 1654. The Dutch regained control in 1655, and finally the English claimed the land for good in 1664.
William Penn took his first step on American soil in New Castle in 1682 and made it part of Pennsylvania by dividing the colony’s southern part into New Castle, Kent and Sussex counties.
The New Castle Court House Museum, at the center of town, was first built in 1689. It burned down and was rebuilt in 1732, and it’s where local lawmakers met on June 15, 1776, and declared independence from Pennsylvania and England and established Delaware as a state. The date, known as Separation Day, is a big celebration in town.
It also was at this courthouse where abolitionist Thomas Garrett — a friend of Harriet Tubman — was tried and convicted for helping slaves escape to freedom with the Underground Railroad. The trial left him bankrupt but not bitter, because he gave an impassioned speech saying he would do it all again.
The court moved to Wilmington in 1881 and the building was used as a police station, mayor’s office, and restaurant and tearoom, where child star Shirley Temple had lunch with her mother while waiting for the ferry to New Jersey.
New Castle’s cobblestone, tree-lined streets feature architectural styles from Georgian to Victorian to the hexagonal-shaped Old Library Museum. An exhibit about two New Castle women who had opposing views of the suffrage movement is planned at the museum this summer, Connolly said.
Homes of note include the one-room colonial-style Dutch House, built circa 1690, where a tradesman and his family lived; the grand Georgian-style Amstel House, built in 1738, where George Washington visited for a wedding in 1784; and the Read house, built in 1804, a Federal-style mansion overlooking the Delaware River.

The Delaware Colony, officially known as the three "Lower Counties on the Delaware", was a semiautonomous region of the proprietary Province of Pennsylvania and a de facto British colony in North America.[1] Although not royally sanctioned, Delaware consisted of the three counties on the west bank of the Delaware River Bay.
Quick Facts Lower Counties onthe Delaware, Status ...
Close
In the early 17th century, the area was inhabited by Lenape and possibly Assateague Native American Indian tribes. The first European settlers were Swedes, who established the colony of New Sweden at Fort Christina in present-day Wilmington, Delaware, in 1638. The Dutch captured the colony in 1655 and annexed it to New Netherland to the north. Great Britain subsequently took control of it from the Dutch in 1664. In 1682, William Penn, the Quaker proprietor of the Province of Pennsylvania to the north leased the three lower counties on the Delaware River from James, the Duke of York, who went on to become King James II.
The three lower counties on the Delaware River were governed as part of the Province of Pennsylvania from 1682 until 1701, when the lower counties petitioned for and were granted an independent colonial legislature; the two colonies shared the same governor until 1776. The English colonists who settled in Delaware were mainly Quakers. In the first half of the 18th century, New Castle and Philadelphia became the primary ports of entry to the new world for a quarter of a million Protestant immigrants from Northern Ireland, referred to as "Scotch-Irish" in America and "Ulster Scots" in Northern Ireland. Delaware had no established religion at this time.

New Castle: Delaware's First Capital, a Colonial Gem
Founded by the Dutch in 1651, New Castle quickly became a strategic port city and a center of commerce and trade. Its location at the Delaware River and the Christina River confluence made it a natural hub for shipping and transportation. The town also played a crucial role in the region's political development, serving as the capital of the Dutch colony of New Netherland, the Swedish colony of New Sweden, and later, the English colony of Delaware.
Capital of the "Lower Counties":
In 1704, when the "Three Lower Counties on the Delaware" (present-day Delaware) gained a separate legislature from Pennsylvania, New Castle became the colonial capital. This marked a significant step towards Delaware's eventual independence and statehood.
A Brief Stint as State Capital:
Even after the American Revolution, New Castle retained its political importance, briefly serving as the first state capital of Delaware in 1776. However, the following year, the capital was moved to Dover, a more centrally located town within the state.
A Living Museum:
Despite losing its status as the capital, New Castle's historical significance remains intact. The town's well-preserved colonial architecture, cobblestone streets, and historic landmarks glimpse its rich past. The New Castle Historic District, a National Historic Landmark, encompasses a significant portion of the town and includes notable sites like the Old Court House, the Amstel House, and the Read House & Gardens.
A Must-Visit Destination:
Today, New Castle is a popular tourist destination, attracting visitors drawn to its historical charm and scenic beauty. The town hosts various events throughout the year, including the annual Separation Day celebration, which commemorates Delaware's declaration of independence from Pennsylvania.
Beyond its historical significance, New Castle offers a variety of attractions for visitors to enjoy. Stroll along the picturesque waterfront, explore the unique shops and galleries, or dine at one of the town's charming restaurants.

This historic park was the landing place of William Penn when he first came to America, and he designed the city so this green space could be preserved forever.
If you enjoy biking, running or walking, spend some time on the Battery Park Trail that runs along the Delaware River, providing amazing views of waterfowl, ships and the Delaware Memorial Bridge.
If you’re fortunate, you may see the Kalmar Nyckel docked, on a stopover as she journeys along the Atlantic seaboard. Also, be sure to check out the original ticket office for the New Castle and Frenchtown Railroad, built in 1832.
The expansive public park along the trail is a favorite spot for locals and visitors to picnic and play. It features several playgrounds for the kids, tennis courts and public restrooms. Only a short walk away and you’re in the heart of Historic New Castle.
Logistics:
A small parking lot is available at the intersection of South St and W. 3rd St.

4. The Middle Colonies
Americans have often prided themselves on their rich diversity. Nowhere was that diversity more evident in pre-Revolutionary America than in the middle colonies of Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, and Delaware. European ethnic groups as manifold as English, Swedes, Dutch, Germans, Scots-Irish and French lived in closer proximity than in any location on continental Europe. The middle colonies contained Native American tribes of Algonkian and Iroquois language groups as well as a sizable percentage of African slaves during the early years. Unlike solidly Puritan New England, the middle colonies presented an assortment of religions. The presence of Quakers, Mennonites, Lutherans, Dutch Calvinists, and Presbyterians made the dominance of one faith next to impossible.
Advantaged by their central location, the middle colonies served as important distribution centers in the English mercantile system. New York and Philadelphia grew at a fantastic rate. These cities gave rise to brilliant thinkers such as Benjamin Franklin, who earned respect on both sides of the Atlantic. In many ways, the middle colonies served as the crossroads of ideas during the colonial period.
In contrast to the South where the cash crop plantation system dominated, and New England whose rocky soil made large-scale agriculture difficult, The middle colonies were fertile. Land was generally acquired more easily than in New England or in the plantation South. Wheat and corn from local farms would feed the American colonies through their colonial infancy and revolutionary adolescence.
The middle colonies represented exactly that — a middle ground between its neighbors to the North and South. Elements of both New England towns and sprawling country estates could be found. Religious dissidents from all regions could settle in the relatively tolerant middle zone. Aspects of New England shipbuilding and lumbering and the large farms of the South could be found. Aptly named, they provided a perfect nucleus for English America.

The grand dame of Assamese cinema
There was not much in terms of conversation between actress Jnanada Kakati and her mother when she was offered her first film role in 1947. Her mother simply told her to pack and leave and to never come back.
The film was Parghat. Today the eighty year old actress reminiscences, “I was dumbstruck when I was offered the role of heroine in the movie. Cinema was the domain of people in Mumbai. Although I had watched a bit of Joymati it was beyond my comprehension that Assamese people would be in a film.”
When she reached Kolkata for shooting she was met with more probing questions, “No one from a good family comes into acting. How have you come into this profession? Why have you come?”
To this, she had a simple response. “What is wrong with this? If we educated people do not come into this profession, who will?”
Assamese society in the early period of the twentieth century was like a closed seashell, clammed so as to protect its perceived pearl of culture and professions like singing and dancing, especially by the fairer sex were frowned upon.
Back home, while she was away, her parents were exposed to the jibes and snide remarks of neighbours and ‘well-wishers’ who passed comments like, “You will get many son-in-laws now.”
For as long as she could remember there was always this tussle; a tussle between dreams and societal conformity which started at an early age when she used to hide backstage at the Asom Club in Shillong to watch her father Deben Das, a reputed theatre artist, perform on stage.,
“I was called Akoni and I used to come and watch my father's rehearsal but my father used to forbid me coming to watch. The chowkidar was instructed to drive me away and it drove my mother to despair as to why I went there again and again. I don't know why but to see all these actors put on colours, dress as women and dress up in different characters attracted me and I decided that one day I would be an actress.”,
“I loved songs and singing and would often go and watch people singing or listen to them after school was over much to my mother's concern and worry. In school, teachers used to tell me to sing whenever there used to be a play. I would gather few of my friends and perform a small play on someone's verandah. I would imagine that I was a queen of the land and I would sprout wings and fly away.”
These were traits not held in great esteem by her parents. Threatened and cajoled by her parents to be ‘good’ she would be often beaten up in an effort to make her ‘normal’.
When she was studying in the sixth standard, the legendary Bishnu Rabha saw her dancing and offered to teach her. His prediction was, “Jnanada, you will become a great actress one day.” However after just one week of teaching the dancing classes had to be stopped as ‘well-wishers’ again told her mother that the ‘dancing business’ was not good; another example of the prevalent mind-set.
She persisted and by the time she was in college she was always the first choice to sing and dance and even teach others.
When all threats and cajoling failed her parents planned to get her married which they thought would put an end to their daughter's gallivanting. However much to their dismay, their son-in-law turned out to be a staunch supporter of his wife. Himself very interested in the performing arts, her husband Lohit Kakati, encouraged Jnanada Kakati to act in films and also follow her heart. Remembering him, she says, “I was and I still say I am so lucky to have got married to my husband. He was an artist, singer, dancer and a handsome person. It was due to his support that I could go ahead with my wishes despite opposition from my parents.”
Her lifelong persistence paid rewards when she became the first Assamese actress to go to the famed Berlin film festival in 1959 for her film Puberun, the first Assamese film to be screened at the Berlin film festival.
“I feel lucky and privileged that even in that period I could go to a place like Berlin film festival after doing an Assamese film. We were taken around in a car through the streets of Berlin and people lined up on both sides of the roads to shower flower petals on us and chanting “India… India,” as our car passed by. It was at that moment that I realized what a great moment it was and I felt proud to be an Indian. A girl from a middle class family got the opportunity to dance with a Hollywood star like Cary Grant.”
Unknown to most she was also an accomplished radio announcer for All India Radio and when All India Radio started in Assam for the first time in Shillong, she became its first announcer. She became a staff artist, singer, news reader and drama artist.
Although many offers poured in after Parghat she missed out on some important ones.
“Bimal Roy sent me a letter with 80 rupees. He was making a movie called Tothapi and he wanted me to play the lead role of a dumb lady. After Tothapi the next to follow would be the Hindi film Bandini, a role that would later go to Nutan. I told my husband that I don't want to go. I returned the money and told him that I will not be able to take that offer. Had I acted in that movie my stature might have been very different probably. Then another offer came. It was a film called Shesher Kobita. However, I had an accident at the time just before shooting and I was expecting at that time. So that offer was also gone. After that I did Assamese films, Sorapat and Piyoli Phukan.” PC Baruah offered her a role too for a movie which was to be like Joymati but unfortunately he passed away before he could start the movie.
Mostly seen in maternal roles on screen despite not being very aged at the time, she laughs as she explains this, “I love pathos and I am a very kind hearted person. Maybe that is why directors loved to offer me the role of a mother.”
More offers kept coming in. She did some Bengali movies with actors like Nitish Roy and Ahindra Choudhury.
Directors she worked with
“I will be forever grateful to Bolin da (Phani Sharma). He was a great director for me. Although, he was a very strict man he loved equally. Nip Baruah was also a good director, very calm and quiet. Despite all troubles, they dedicated themselves to the craft. On some days, shooting would be wrapped up in half a day. But nobody gave up.”
Then and now
The world of acting seems a very different place today. “Everything is so technically advanced today. When we were shooting Piyoli Phukan, even a lizard had to be taken to Kolkata because the colour of a lizard in Kolkata was different from the lizard in Assam. We would stay for months at one place to complete the shooting but today a young college girl who is also an actress can come and give a shot during the lunch break and leave. We don't know what makeup was or dress designer was. We would dress on our own. Today there are books providing instructions on each and every aspect of acting. We went from an environment of thorns and in that context I sometimes think that maybe we have given a lot to films in Assam.”,
A proud mother and a housewife, today she hopes that the new generation should know about artists like her. “Many of the new ones do not know about us. They have not even heard about us. Today cinema is like Bombay type. Directors give so much freedom today. I wouldn't blame the young actors of today. It is the responsibility of the director to extract the best out of an actor. Our boys and girls act well. If our producers had the money they would also do well. But still we need to improve”.
Age may have robbed her of many things but her passion for acting is still alive. “Although, I have aged and I am old, I am still desirous of acting. If I get a good role I think I would do it well,” she says.
Memorable roles
Role of Meghali in Puberun.
Role of Seuti in Piyoli Phukan.
Audio interview with Jnanada Kakati

The tag of a ‘villain’ doesn't bother Abdul Majid but he thinks people are afraid of him.
It happened one afternoon on some nameless day in the early nineties. Abdul Majid was shopping in Fancy Bazaar with his family. In those days there were no restrictions on smoking and while his wife and others busied themselves with shopping, Majid lit a cigarette. Suddenly, he was aware of a lot of eyes on him and hushed panicky voices of some women. “He is here. Let us go out. Go…go” In a matter of a minute the shop was empty. It was not the first time and certainly, not the last time. Curious neighbours or fearful classmates would often ask his family members, “Is he like this at home too? Does he beat you?”
All testimonies to the acting prowess of a multi-faceted actor but perhaps best remembered as the granddad of all villains in Assamese cinema.
The beginnings
Born on November 16, 1931 in Jorhat but officially recorded as May 1, 1932, the young Abdul Majid was attracted to films and theatres from a very young age. Recalling his first brush with cinema, Majid says, “There was a godown of the agricultural department near my house and there used to be a man there called Didaruddin Ahmed, a neatly dressed man in a dhoti, pump shoe and kameez with his finely combed back brushed hair. He used to take me with him to the Jorhat theatre. Occasionally, I would be taken backstage where he would dress up according to his role and sometimes as a woman. I used to find this very funny. Sometimes we used to watch Jatra parties from Kolkata. I always loved watching but never thought that I would act in films or theatre. Sometimes some of us would get together in someone's house and some of the boys would perform a play using bed sheets and other household implements as our equipment. This was my initiation to the world of theatre”.
He little suspected that these childhood skirmishes with theatre and cinema would one day result in fame and become a way of life for him.
Being a culturally vibrant place and home to doyens of Assamese culture such as Hem Baruah and Indreswar Sarma there was a tradition in Jorhat that matriculation candidates would enact a play. The young Majid used to assist but one day someone failed to turn up and Majid was asked to enact the absentee's role. Although hesitant, the initial reticence disappeared when onlookers applauded him for his acting. Thus, once started, there was no looking back.
Majid was part of the club called Kristi Sangha under which they started enacting the plays. With the latent talent bursting forth, the youth were soon advised by lot of people to start writing their own plays instead of enacting Bengali plays written by others, which was a norm at the time. Majid eagerly took to the task. Bonchitaa , his first play was written in 1957. Then came Dhuli Makoti followed by Sur and Sampoorno Mahabharata. Much later his play Sihot Ahise found place in a Sahitya Akademi collection of plays.
Early days
When he and his friends were around 24 -25, a wild idea about making a movie crept into their minds; wild because they had no idea about where the money would come from. “We went to Syed Abdul Malik to make his novel Matir saki into a film. He gave the go ahead. At the same time, the premiere of Smritir Porokh was being held in Jorhat for which Brojen Baruah and Nip Baruah had come. We went to meet them. We called them to watch Ronga Police. They watched the play and suggested that we should instead make Ronga Police as this would make a great movie. So we went ahead with that. 10 June 1957 – It was the mohurat of Ronga Police and the first day I came to be associated with movies.”
“I played the role of an anti-hero in the movie. I wouldn't call it negative. I tried to portray the character differently because I had done it numerous times on stage,” says Majid. It worked and his role was appreciated by many and his particular style of walking was even copied.
More movies followed and all the while he continued to engage with the medium where he first started -theatre- and gave memorable performances in plays like Spartacus, Srimanta Sankardev, Bhagawan Sri Krishna, Jibon Driver and Bazarot Omola among others.
Chameli Memsaheb
In 1975 came, Chameli Memsaheb, the second directorial venture of Abdul Majid (after Morom Trishna), a movie that would go on to win national awards for best Assamese feature film(Rajat Kamal award) and also be the first Assamese film to be screened at the Rashtrapati Bhawan. After reading the short story by Nirod Choudhury, Abdul Majid wrote the screenplay for the same and showed it to Choudhury who gave the go ahead for the same. Despite stiff opposition to the casting of Binita Borgohain as Chameli, a girl from the tea gardens, owing to her mongoloid looks, Majid decided to go ahead. He explains his choice. “I knew the acting skills of Binita so there was never any doubt in my mind about her acceptance in the eyes of the audience. The end result was there for all to see”. The film took the box office by storm and more than 30 years after the movie released it is still regarded as an Assamese classic.
It also gave him the role of Monglu, the misguided and lovelorn boy in love with Chameli, a role which he regards as one of his best performances. More directorial ventures followed in the form of Banahangsa and Banjui but he was still a few years away from becoming the synonym for villain in Assamese cinema.
Villain 101
In 1985, Pulok Gogoi directed Sendur, a social drama laced with healthy doses of action. A protesting Abdul Majid was convinced by the director that no one else could play the role of Jagat Barua, an evil zamindar and the rest is folklore today. Sendur became a super hit and Abdul Majid the villain was born. “Pulok Gogoi made me a villain. I didn't want to take up the role initially but Gogoi coaxed me saying that no one else would be able to do justice to the role.”
Hits like Puja and Suruj followed and the image of Abdul Majid the evil man became entrenched in the minds of the masses.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that apart from Dinesh Das, another epitome of onscreen devilry in Assamese cinema, nobody else has defined ‘villain’ more aptly on screen than Abdul Majid.
So who is a villain and what are the traits needed to play a villain? Majid says, “There has to be a character to a villain. Nobody can become a villain just for the sake of being bad. How does the script make or present the villain? That is important. If we see Maniram Dewan, Upaja Matir Sun, Brojen Baruah's role in Dr Bezbaruah those can be called villains.”
Surprisingly, the bad man on screen has never enacted any villainous roles in theatre.
On the present status of Assamese cinema
Assamese films might never have attained the rank of an ‘industry’ but most of the veterans cannot help but feel a pang of sadness at its present plight. Majid is no different. He sums up the present scenario succinctly when he says, “They are making films in the Assamese language but the films are not Assamese.”
“It's not that good films are not being made but the majority disappoint. You have to look at where you are. You have to look at who your audience is. There is too much emphasis on glamour without substance. Where is the glamour in Assam? Where is the glamour in the Assamese films? There is no need for it.”
Not too happy with the mobile theatre scenario in the state which he believes apes too much of the Hindi film industry he has some words of advice for them too. “If mobile theatre keeps on moving on at this rate one fine day suddenly it will collapse. When people become fed up of looking at all this they will stop paying them to watch it.”
Never one to sit idle, when he was not facing the camera, he was behind it producing immensely popular serials like Naamghoriya and Jor Puri Haat or directing culturally relevant documentaries like Puppet Dance of Assam, Azan Fakir, Bahadur Gaonburha, Music and dances of Goalpara, Rituals, Customs and culture of the Rabhas of Assam.
Today, more than 50 years after his first film, this doyen of Assamese cinema is still busy with acting in and directing projects. Still active he has just finished shooting for a film and is on the lookout for interesting scripts. For his contribution to Assamese cinema, this untiring servant of culture was given a lifetime achievement award in 2010 under the banner of Prag cine awards besides being awarded numerous times by the state government and other private organizations chief among them being the Bishnu Prasad Rabha award in 1986.

The beauty of simplicity
Mridula Barooah – the name evokes a vivid image of an alluringly beautiful village girl, the kind that you read about in story books and the girl every man fancies to take home to their mother. Setting many a heart aflutter with her looks and acting prowess, this beautiful lady was one of the few leading ladies of the small but purposeful Assamese film industry, from the late 70s and 80s, till the early nineties.
Early days
Hailing from the small town of Sootea, in Sonitpur district of Assam, the Barooah family comprising of six children and the parents moved to Biswanath Chariali. Her father, Jogendranath Barooah, was the ‘outdoor incharge’ at the Pratapgarh tea estate and it was from here that the young Mridula Barooah started her theatrical journey by acting in dramas in school.
Recalling her introduction to acting she says, “As a child, I and my siblings went to watch movies and films with child artists in them used to be a great source of observation for us. After coming back we would compete with each other to re-enact the scenes that we had seen.”
However, her initiation into acting came much later. “Due to varied reasons I didn’t act in school plays earlier than the 10th standard. I was a painfully shy girl and the school was in Sootea, which was quite far from my home at the Pratapgarh tea estate. However, when I was in the tenth standard I decided enough was enough and that year I took part in everything right from games to drama and won prizes too!”
It was here that she received the third prize in the drama competition, the first of many awards to follow.
Another stepping stone for her imminent film career was when she received the first prize at a state level drama competition (All Assam Surjya Bora Memorial one act play competition) when she was in college.
It was here amidst this culturally vibrant atmosphere that she was discovered by director/ actor Abdul Majid who had gone to enact a role in a movie. She was promptly signed up for her first film Upopath (opposite Pranjal Saikia) with Hemanta Dutta as director and Pramod Baruah as producer. In the meantime, actor Hiren Choudhury too, saw this young girl at work and told director Dwijendra Narayan Deb who was looking for new faces for his film, Moromi. Mridula Barooah was offered the title role and thus at the young age, she had two roles opposite leading stars of the day and was juggling college and films at the same time.
“I still don’t know how everything happened but it is all thanks to these people. Everybody was very nice and cooperative. They perhaps saw something in me and thus I was offered two roles in two films so quickly.” Although Upopath was her first signed film, Moromi was her first released film.
Unlike in many cases, there was no resistance towards her acting career on the part of her parents. “There was only one condition and that was to be good at whatever I did.” And she did more than ‘good’.
In 1979, came the film Megha Mukti, where she played the role of twin sisters (the first double role in Assamese films) which established her among the public but it was the twin super hits of Buwari and Kokadeuta, Nati aru Hati which did away with any remaining doubts as to her acting abilities and firmly cemented her place in the hearts of the people.
Success followed with films like Maa and Protima which incidentally were films with women centric roles, roles where many a time she had to essay characters older than her real age.
Reflecting on this she says, “The eighties was a very good era for Assamese films in all senses and maybe it was due to the society of the period that directors were focusing more on women centric roles. Today, of course, it’s a quite different scenario.”
In the nineties, when she was at her peak, however roles and films dried up due to unrest of secessionist groups and a general demise of production houses.
Although, it would be difficult for viewers to let go of the image of the sweet innocent rustic girl attached to her, she still essayed few different roles whenever she was offered one. In Hiya Diya Niya she essayed a negative role, in Dr Bhabendra Nath Saikia’s Kaal Sandhya , where she had a guest appearance; she played the character of an innocent woman who submits to the vagaries of fate and has shades of grey. Similarly her roles in Aborton, Itihaas and Gun Gun Gaane Gaane fetched her critical acclaim.
Today, she is quite content with the way things have panned out and her long journey from lead actress to a matriarchal guide on screen. “You do feel it when suddenly you realize one day that you are no longer going to be the leading lady but it is only momentary. Playing my own age is what gives me immense satisfaction now,” says Barooah.
Adding to her repertoire, she also turned producer in the early 2000s and produced serials for Doordarshan. She also produced documentaries for the state government.
Due to a persistent leg ailment she had to spend five years from 2007 to 2011 on the sidelines but now she is ready to face the lights again and has recently completed shooting for the film Bir Chilarai.
She is however hopeful that the good times of Assamese films would come back. “The new generation of artists is very talented and if they gain access to more resources they could definitely do a lot better.”

Memorable moments in her own words
In the film, Shakuntala aru Shankar Joseph Ali, my character dies towards the end. My ‘body’ was carried through the streets of Guwahati on a mini truck. Now most people obviously didn’t know that it was not a real funeral procession and so many started paying their respects from a distance. The truck was just passing a city bus and it so happened that there was a young boy standing on the doorstep. The cameras were not rolling at the moment so I decided to open my eyes for a second. It was at that precise moment that the boy’s eyes and my eyes met as he was about to gesture as a mark of respect towards my ‘body’. To this day, I cannot forget the look on his face. I cannot describe that look. I guess it was a mix of terror and horror for him.

Excerpt from Buwari:
The origin of Assamese Cinema can be traced back to the dreams and imagination of a revolutionary visionary, Rupkonwar Jyotiprasad Agarwala, who was also a distinguished poet, playwright, composer and freedom fighter. He was instrumental in the production of the first Assamese Film Joymati, under the banner of Critrakala Movietone. Due to the lack of trained technicians, Jyotiprasad, , had to shoulder the added responsibilities of the script writer, producer, director, choreographer, editor, set and costume designer, lyricist and music director while making his maiden film. The film, completed with a budget of Rupees sixty thousand was released on March 10th, 1935. It was the third Indian talkie to be released, a fact unknown to many. It is unfortunate that like so many early Indian films, the negatives and complete prints of Joymati are missing.
The film did not do well and Jyotiprasad Agarwala had to endure heavy losses. However, despite the failure of his venture, Jyotiprasad made another film after a lapse of two years titled Indramalati (1939). It was his second and last film. The eminent composer and singer of Assam Dr. Bhupen Hazarika, played a stellar role in the film.. With the passing away of Jyotiprasad, the Assamese film scenario witnessed a temporary lull for about a couple of years. But things changed with the onset of war, Taking advantage of this, the Late Rohini Kumar Baruah made a film on a relevant historical topic called Manomati (1941). It was followed by films like Parvati Baruah’s Rupahi (1946), Kamal Narayan choudhury’s Badan Barphukan (1947), Phani Sharma’s Siraj, Asit Sen’s Biplabi, Prabin Phukan’s Parghat and Suresh Goswami’s Runumi.
But the most remarkable film of the fifties was Piyali Phukan which went on to win a National award. In 1955, a new talent Nip Barua made his directorial debut with Smriti Paras. His subsequent films Mak Aaru Moram and Ranga Police bagged many state awards and a silver medal at the national level. Dr. Bhupen Hazarika also produced and directed his first film Era Batur Sur. Prabhat Mukherjee made a film on the universality of mother-hood, Puberan (1959),which was shown at the Berlin Film Festival. The next memorable production was Lachit Borphukan by Sarbeswar Chakraborty. Dr. Bhupen Hazarika made his unforgettable musical Shakuntala (1961) which proved equally successful with critics and the press. It also won a president’s award. Following this, a number of films began to be produced regularlyproduction and were released. These included Nip Barua’s Narakasur, Anil Choudhury’s Matri Swarga, Brojen Barua’s Itu Situ Bahuto and Mukta & Anwar Hussain’s Tejimala.
By the mid-sixties , film were produced regularly in Assam and 62 films were produced between 1935 to 1970. Besides the film makers already referred to, many others engaged in film making during the period included Pravin Sharma, Saila Barua, Abdul Mazid, Amar Pathak, Indukal Pattazarika, Diben Barua, Debkumar Basu, Amulya Manna, Gauri Barman, Atul Bardoloi, Sujit Singh, Nalin Duara and Prafulla Barua.
During the period of 1970-82 a total of 57 Assamese films were made. The emergence of new directors also bolstered the health of the fast maturing industry. Samarendra Narayan Deb’s Aranya (1970), Kamal Choudhury’s Bhaity (1972) the first colour film of Assam, Manoranjan Sur’s Uttaran (1973), Deuti Barua’s Bristi (1974) Pulok Gogoi’s Khoj (1974) Padam Barua’s Ganga Chilanir Pakhi (1976) and Dr. Bhabendranath Saikia’s Sandhya Rag (1977) and Atul Bordoloi’s Kollol (1978) are films worth – mentioning.
The outstanding directors of contemporary Assamese Cinema are Jahnu Baruah (Aparoopa, Papori, Haladhia Choraye Baodhan Khai, Banani, Firingoti, Hkhagoroloi Bohu Door) ; Sanjeev Hazarika (Haladhar, Meemanxa); Late Dr. Bhabendaranath Saikia (Anirbaan, Agnisnaan, Sarothi, Kolahol, Abartan, Itihaas, Kaal Sandhya) Dr. Santwana Bordoloi (Adajya) and Bidyut Chakraborty (Rag Birag).

The director of the play was late BudhinSarma. He used to teach us how to perform. After seeing my performance, he was very pleased with my acting and called our group to make some changes in the play. I was then given the role of the main character. Our play was well received by the audience and the judges. In that play, I got the award of Best Actress from Handique Girls’ College and the next year, I repeated the feat.
Moloya Goswami is a renowned actor from Assam. Her performance in the movie Firingoti(Spark) won rave reviews and she went on to bag the Best Actress Award in the 39th National Film Awards 1992.Since her debut in films, she has never failed to mesmerise her fans with her performances. She has also worked as a lecturer in Education atJagiroad College. Excerpts from an interview:
Tell us about yourself, your family and educational background.
My father belonged to the prominent Rajkhowa family of Sivasagar. I resided with my parents and my elder sister. I was born in Dibrugarh. My father’s job was a transferrable one, so he had to travel a lot. My father used to work in the Assam State Electricity Board(ASEB). So, when he was transferred to Nagaon, we all shifted there. My schooling started in Nagaon and our life was very simple. My sister used to go to school and I used to follow her to school. In those days there were no restrictions on going to school by following your elder sister. That was the way I got admitted to school. I think when I was in class 4 or 5 we shifted to Guwahati and I took admission in TC Girls’ School. I completed my graduation from Handique Girls’ College and I completed my Masters in Education from Gauhati University.
How did you get interested in acting. Who was your biggest inspiration behind pursuing acting?
When I was a student, I got interested in drama. When I was in school, I never thought I would ever perform in a drama but there was a silver jubilee function in our school, where I first essayed a role. I had a group where we decided to perform a play written by Aarati Das, who was in All India Radio. And I had the advantage of my sister also being a member in our group. When we performed the play, it was just for fun as we wanted our parents to come and watch our performances. I still remember when I asked my parents about my performance, my mother said she could not hear my voice. At that time, there was no microphone and we had to go and speak our dialogues in front of a stand mike. At that point oftime it did not cross my mind that I would one day enter the field of acting.
Next, when I started college, in my second year some girls from the Philosophy department decided to perform a play in the college week for a competition. They had a very good story. They were very good friends of mine and I requested them to allow me to participate. But since they were from Philosophy Major, they were a bit sceptical of allowing me to perform in their group. But luckily for me they didn’t have anyone to enact the role of a particular character and so they approached me to do the role. I was happy and readily agreed to play the part. The director of the play was late BudhinSarma. He used to teach us how to perform. After seeing my performance, he was very pleased with my acting and called our group to make some changes in the play. I was then given the role of the main character. Our play was well received by the audience and the judges. In that play, I got the award of Best Actress from Handique Girls’ College and the next year, I repeated the feat. This was a turning point for me. When I was studying in Gauhati University, a cultural organisation named New Art Players wanted me to act in a very beautiful drama translated from the Hindi play,Ashar ka Ek Din, which was written by Mohan Rakesh. The Assamese play was entitled Uterkhita Mallika, and in that play I essayed the character of Mallika. This was my first step towards acting on stage. My parents and my elder sister encouraged me a lot. My father especially was always at my beck and call and used to accompany me to all my rehearsals and my performances. I also used to play games during my schooldays and my father always encouraged me in whatever I did. I have worked with some renowned theatre personalities from New Art Players like Debo Kumar Nath, Arup Chakraborty, Satya Prasad Baruah, Narayan Bezbaruah, Sambhu Gupta and Girish Choudhury. I learned a lot of things from them. I acted in numerous plays like Lobhita, Mrinal Bahini, Palashor Rong,etc.
I cannot say that a particular person was my inspiration because I never started out with that aim. Maybe it was in my blood, and I had the support of my family.
You have acted in some renowned films. Can you tell us about the experience
The number of films that I have worked in is very small and my entry into films was very late. It is not that I did not get any offer, but in those days my mother used to worry a lot and was hesitant about letting me act in films. So, I also never forced them to let me work in films. They never stopped me, but they were a little worried. One day I got an offer from late Bhabendra Nath Saikia to work for his film Agnisnaan which was based on his novel Antareep. In the movie I played the lead role of ‘Menaka’. My husband’s family encouraged me to act in the movie. The movie is a masterpiece. I was nominated for the award of Best Actress for the National Awards. But I missed the award. After that I acted in a movie Maa. My third movie was Jahnu Baruah’s Firingoti. For this movie I got the prestigious National Award for Best Actress in 1992.
Tell us about the most satisfying character you have played so far. Do you believe that you could do full justice to the character?
As a performing artist I have always tried to do justice to the characters I have played. Maybe, at times I have failed, I cannot say. My audience will be able to tell me whether I have been successful in doing justice to the characters I have played. I try to understand and get into the skin of the characters so that I can do justice to the part I have to enact. When I was essaying the role of Menaka, I tried to be that character as far as possible. It was like becoming Menaka and not just acting her part.
Satisfaction is a great thing. When I playdifferent roles in the movies I always think how best can Isatisfy my audience, fulfil their expectations.
You were also working as a lecturer in Jagiroad College. Can you tell us more about your experience as a teacher
I was working in the Education Department ofJagiroadCollege. This is my other identity -- that of being a college teacher. My students are like my own children. The mental peace that I got when I spent time with my students, cannot be compared with anything. The satisfaction of being a teacher cannot be compared to anything. My entire career as a teacher was spent in JagiroadCollege. I have retired now, but JagiroadCollege gave me a different identity apart from being an actor and this counts in a big way in my life. I have discovered new sides to me while working as a teacher. I won the best actress in 1992 when I was working in Jagiroad College. I still remember, the atmosphere of the College that day. It was so memorable it will forever remain engraved in my memory. The whole college celebrated my win. Many people came to take my interview. The atmosphere at the college changed completely. Even today when I happen to meet my students, they hug me out of affection. The happiness, the accolades, the love and affection from students and colleagueswas an unforgettable experience of my life.
Tell us about your awards and achievements
Firstly, awards give you a recognition. It is a respect towards your work. I have never worked to receive awards, and nobody does that. But when someone appreciates you, even with their words it is a big recognition. When you are doing good work and people appreciate you for that, by telling you that you have done a very good job that is a big recognition and encouragement. Therefore, when somebody givesme awards appreciating my hard work, it gives me an inner strength to work harder and become better. My most memorable awards if I would sayso isthe National Award for Best Actress. That is a big chapter in my life. Recently I got the opportunity to go to Houstan in USA, and there also people of the Assamese community bestowed a lot honour and respect. I have also got the Prag Cine award, Joymoti Award, AideoHandique Memorial Award which is given by the SodauAxomLekhikaSamaroh Samiti, Bina Prasad Award, and Leo Advertising Award.
I think that getting an award makes me feel associated with the names of the awards. It is gives one a feeling of being rewarded.
Tell us about the projects you are working on currently. Can you tell us more about your upcoming projects?
After my retirement I have worked in some serials. Right now I am shooting for the entertainment channel of NKTV, namely Spondon. And very recently I have worked in Parvez Ahmed’s EtiTumar. It is a guest appearance and the audience will see me in a different light. Apart from that I am working with the young generation and I am very happy because working with children gives one another level of satisfaction. I worked in the movie Calendar with Himjyoti Talukdar, who is a young boy and I loved working with him. I have also worked with MrinmoySaikiaand Nibir Barua. I have also acted in two short films Nimila Onko which has been released in two parts. The audience also loved the movie. The new generation is very talented. And those who are working seriously, are doing very good job -- be it the script, the concept or the the technical aspects.
Any words of advice for the new comers in the industry.
I feel that there is nothing to advise them on. Now new platforms are coming up, there is the OTT platform, we have short films, web series and they are allavailable as social media content and can be accessed by anyone with a good internet connection. Everything today is accessible with the tip of our fingers. The new generation knows how to take advantage of these new platforms and they are delivering as well. The new generation kids are doing a very beautiful and good job. Since I have also got the opportunity of being associated with their work and I have learned many new things. The best thing of working with the new generation is that I have also learned new work. In earlier days we had a different way of doing films, now the work style is different. So, there is no full stop in learning. Those who are very serious in their work, they are doing good and are working with sincerity. They also know how to market a film. Now a days there are many opportunities at the national and international levels, and the new generation knows how to grab those opportunities. And I want them to do more good work and deliver it to the audience, and they will definitely receive appreciation from their audience. These children are very talented, they just need the scope to spread their wings.
Lastly, any words for our readers
The Sentinel is a very reputed newspaper. The paper has delivered to the readers what they want to read and I therefore think that in all these years they have built a name for themselves. In future too I expect that the paper will deliver and serve its readers with the same fervour.

National Film Awards
The National Film Awards, held annually, stand as a beacon of honor in the stream of Indian cinema. The National Film Awards are organized by the Directorate of Film Festivals, under the Union Ministry of Information and Broadcasting. They celebrate films that exhibit not only aesthetic and technical excellence but also social relevance, signifying the power of cinema as a medium of both art and impact.
History of National Film Awards
Established in 1954, the National Film Awards is a highly prestigious and eagerly anticipated event in India. The President of India presents these awards, and it includes a public screening of the winning films.
Since its inception in 1954, the National Film Awards have evolved significantly. Originally known as ‘State Awards,’ they featured two President’s Gold Medals, two certificates of merit, and silver medals for about twelve regional films. Initially, the Regional Best Award was given to the National Best Film itself. However, over time, the number of awards has grown.
In 1968, separate awards were introduced for artists and technicians, starting with the films of 1967. Nargis Dutt and Uttam Kumar were the first recipients of the Best Actress (then called Urvashi) and Best Actor (then called Bharat) Awards, respectively.
These awards are presented in three categories: Features, Non-Features, and Best Writing on Cinema. Recognizing excellence in various cinematic achievements, Features and Non-Features categories honor outstanding contributions in different aspects of filmmaking. The ‘Best Writing on Cinema’ category promotes the study and appreciation of cinema as an art form by encouraging the publication of books, articles, reviews, newspaper coverage, and studies related to the film industry.
The National Film Awards aim to foster the production of films that exhibit aesthetic and technical excellence while also addressing social issues. They contribute to a deeper understanding and appreciation of the diverse cultures within India through the medium of cinema, ultimately promoting national unity and integrity.
An expert jury, consisting of individuals distinguished in the fields of cinema, arts, and humanities, is responsible for selecting the award winners.

Ambubachi Mela – The name conjures up images of sadhus with tridents and matted hair, wild singing and gesticulating devotees high on bhang, traffic jams and from now marketing.
Although I am now a ‘resident’ of Assam and have been proud owner of a PRC since the last 25 years , I haven’t visited the Mela in the past partly due to disinterest and mostly due to ‘ search of greener pastures’ which signifies the lives of many ‘lucky’ Northeasterners. The MBA tidal wave which has engulfed and submerged the nation since 2000 is evident at the festival too which is a new sight for me. Five years ago, steel bar and cement company hoardings were definitely not welcoming me to Guwahati.
The first sight that greets me as I get off the bus at the Kamakhya bus stop is a huge advertising board of an ‘India renowned astrologer and palmist Guru’. Devotees were of course expected to a pay a visit to the gentleman and get rid of their afflictions.
Devotees stand in queue, in front of the Ganesh Mandir to receive water of a particular mineral water company and a miniscule packet of food comprising of a banana and two slices of bread. I walk past them.
More advertising boards, smaller in size, perched on electricity posts greet me. My friend, ‘Mr India renowned’ and a attractive lady smile down on me. There is a newcomer too, a ‘vastu expert’, who is a gold medal winner.
There are two roads to reach the Goddess Kamakhya and both have Ganesh mandirs at the start. I clamber up the serpentine road which resembles the multi-coloured strings of a giant kite with colourful flags and the multitude of vehicles passing by. For a moment the tiny dots of houses and fields of humanity spread out far below me makes me feel like a God among mortals but then I return to reality with the honk of a passing trekker.
Finally after 45 minutes of arduous trekking I am at the top and some 400 metres away from the temple entrance.
.
The top of the hill is dotted with red hoardings of a certain mobile company which gave it the air of a huge mobile phone fair of some kind. These flags stick out sorely like a fly in the custard.
Traders jostling to get the attention of the devotees scream and brandish their wares. “Come here Dada, Lingams here, pure sandalwood, devotional CDs too.” The crowd is varied. Trinket sellers with cheap earrings and from Bengal, gem stone sellers from Rajasthan, local vendors selling sandalwood pieces and stone potas, photos of gods and goddesses add colour to the festive atmosphere. The aroma of freshly fried sweets waft in the air and the mounds of various sweets in the open air stalls tempt even the diehard hygiene conscious.
A mini and colourful market has sprung up here. The sights and smells of the market are pleasurable to say the least
A little ahead a beggar without legs, lies on a wheel drawn small wooden cart. He is arguing with a spunky looking young woman, of about 30 with wild disheveled hair blowing out in all directions. Bits of their conversation drift in as I pass. “Why don’t you just move away from here? It’s my space. I have been sitting here for a long time.” The girl retorts, “You don’t own this place do you?” Its business time and turf wars are on.
Finally I wade past the crowd and metal detectors at the temple gates and come inside the temple compound. Pandas or the resident priests of the temple rush about, an ocean of floating orange, escorting devotees to offer their prayers in the inner sanctum of the temple.
Within the temple premises, the Saubhagya kund beckons. A pond as old as the temple itself, today a big flex banner of a ‘leading’ bank beckons me to come and take a dip at the pond. It is difficult to ascertain whether that is the name of a scheme floated by the bank or the name of a pond. Somehow I suspect, more than the water of the pond it is investment in the bank which is meant to arouse your ‘saubhagya’.
As I do a parikrama of the temple, a group of sanyasins scamper behind an old man who it seems is apparently trying to distribute some food and coins. Some coins fall out of the old man’s hands and there is brief chaos and hands and legs fling out in all directions to arrest the fall.
The pigeons and the sight of the ancient temple restore some calm to the surroundings and my mind and seem to be the only constant in the ever changing surroundings.
The grand dame of Assamese cinema
There was not much in terms of conversation between actress Jnanada Kakati and her mother when she was offered her first film role in 1947. Her mother simply told her to pack and leave and to never come back.
The film was Parghat. Today the eighty year old actress reminiscences, “I was dumbstruck when I was offered the role of heroine in the movie. Cinema was the domain of people in Mumbai. Although I had watched a bit of Joymati it was beyond my comprehension that Assamese people would be in a film.”
When she reached Kolkata for shooting she was met with more probing questions, “No one from a good family comes into acting. How have you come into this profession? Why have you come?”
To this, she had a simple response. “What is wrong with this? If we educated people do not come into this profession, who will?”
Assamese society in the early period of the twentieth century was like a closed seashell, clammed so as to protect its perceived pearl of culture and professions like singing and dancing, especially by the fairer sex were frowned upon.
Back home, while she was away, her parents were exposed to the jibes and snide remarks of neighbours and ‘well-wishers’ who passed comments like, “You will get many son-in-laws now.”
For as long as she could remember there was always this tussle; a tussle between dreams and societal conformity which started at an early age when she used to hide backstage at the Asom Club in Shillong to watch her father Deben Das, a reputed theatre artist, perform on stage.,
“I was called Akoni and I used to come and watch my father's rehearsal but my father used to forbid me coming to watch. The chowkidar was instructed to drive me away and it drove my mother to despair as to why I went there again and again. I don't know why but to see all these actors put on colours, dress as women and dress up in different characters attracted me and I decided that one day I would be an actress.”,
“I loved songs and singing and would often go and watch people singing or listen to them after school was over much to my mother's concern and worry. In school, teachers used to tell me to sing whenever there used to be a play. I would gather few of my friends and perform a small play on someone's verandah. I would imagine that I was a queen of the land and I would sprout wings and fly away.”
These were traits not held in great esteem by her parents. Threatened and cajoled by her parents to be ‘good’ she would be often beaten up in an effort to make her ‘normal’.
When she was studying in the sixth standard, the legendary Bishnu Rabha saw her dancing and offered to teach her. His prediction was, “Jnanada, you will become a great actress one day.” However after just one week of teaching the dancing classes had to be stopped as ‘well-wishers’ again told her mother that the ‘dancing business’ was not good; another example of the prevalent mind-set.
She persisted and by the time she was in college she was always the first choice to sing and dance and even teach others.
When all threats and cajoling failed her parents planned to get her married which they thought would put an end to their daughter's gallivanting. However much to their dismay, their son-in-law turned out to be a staunch supporter of his wife. Himself very interested in the performing arts, her husband Lohit Kakati, encouraged Jnanada Kakati to act in films and also follow her heart. Remembering him, she says, “I was and I still say I am so lucky to have got married to my husband. He was an artist, singer, dancer and a handsome person. It was due to his support that I could go ahead with my wishes despite opposition from my parents.”
Her lifelong persistence paid rewards when she became the first Assamese actress to go to the famed Berlin film festival in 1959 for her film Puberun, the first Assamese film to be screened at the Berlin film festival.
“I feel lucky and privileged that even in that period I could go to a place like Berlin film festival after doing an Assamese film. We were taken around in a car through the streets of Berlin and people lined up on both sides of the roads to shower flower petals on us and chanting “India… India,” as our car passed by. It was at that moment that I realized what a great moment it was and I felt proud to be an Indian. A girl from a middle class family got the opportunity to dance with a Hollywood star like Cary Grant.”
Unknown to most she was also an accomplished radio announcer for All India Radio and when All India Radio started in Assam for the first time in Shillong, she became its first announcer. She became a staff artist, singer, news reader and drama artist.
Although many offers poured in after Parghat she missed out on some important ones.
“Bimal Roy sent me a letter with 80 rupees. He was making a movie called Tothapi and he wanted me to play the lead role of a dumb lady. After Tothapi the next to follow would be the Hindi film Bandini, a role that would later go to Nutan. I told my husband that I don't want to go. I returned the money and told him that I will not be able to take that offer. Had I acted in that movie my stature might have been very different probably. Then another offer came. It was a film called Shesher Kobita. However, I had an accident at the time just before shooting and I was expecting at that time. So that offer was also gone. After that I did Assamese films, Sorapat and Piyoli Phukan.” PC Baruah offered her a role too for a movie which was to be like Joymati but unfortunately he passed away before he could start the movie.
Mostly seen in maternal roles on screen despite not being very aged at the time, she laughs as she explains this, “I love pathos and I am a very kind hearted person. Maybe that is why directors loved to offer me the role of a mother.”
More offers kept coming in. She did some Bengali movies with actors like Nitish Roy and Ahindra Choudhury.
Directors she worked with
“I will be forever grateful to Bolin da (Phani Sharma). He was a great director for me. Although, he was a very strict man he loved equally. Nip Baruah was also a good director, very calm and quiet. Despite all troubles, they dedicated themselves to the craft. On some days, shooting would be wrapped up in half a day. But nobody gave up.”
Then and now
The world of acting seems a very different place today. “Everything is so technically advanced today. When we were shooting Piyoli Phukan, even a lizard had to be taken to Kolkata because the colour of a lizard in Kolkata was different from the lizard in Assam. We would stay for months at one place to complete the shooting but today a young college girl who is also an actress can come and give a shot during the lunch break and leave. We don't know what makeup was or dress designer was. We would dress on our own. Today there are books providing instructions on each and every aspect of acting. We went from an environment of thorns and in that context I sometimes think that maybe we have given a lot to films in Assam.”,
A proud mother and a housewife, today she hopes that the new generation should know about artists like her. “Many of the new ones do not know about us. They have not even heard about us. Today cinema is like Bombay type. Directors give so much freedom today. I wouldn't blame the young actors of today. It is the responsibility of the director to extract the best out of an actor. Our boys and girls act well. If our producers had the money they would also do well. But still we need to improve”.
Age may have robbed her of many things but her passion for acting is still alive. “Although, I have aged and I am old, I am still desirous of acting. If I get a good role I think I would do it well,” she says.

Audio interview with Jnanada Kakati
http://tindeck.com/player/v1/player.swf?trackid=svss
The tag of a ‘villain’ doesn't bother Abdul Majid but he thinks people are afraid of him.
It happened one afternoon on some nameless day in the early nineties. Abdul Majid was shopping in Fancy Bazaar with his family. In those days there were no restrictions on smoking and while his wife and others busied themselves with shopping, Majid lit a cigarette. Suddenly, he was aware of a lot of eyes on him and hushed panicky voices of some women. “He is here. Let us go out. Go…go” In a matter of a minute the shop was empty. It was not the first time and certainly, not the last time. Curious neighbours or fearful classmates would often ask his family members, “Is he like this at home too? Does he beat you?”
All testimonies to the acting prowess of a multi-faceted actor but perhaps best remembered as the granddad of all villains in Assamese cinema.
The beginnings
Born on November 16, 1931 in Jorhat but officially recorded as May 1, 1932, the young Abdul Majid was attracted to films and theatres from a very young age. Recalling his first brush with cinema, Majid says, “There was a godown of the agricultural department near my house and there used to be a man there called Didaruddin Ahmed, a neatly dressed man in a dhoti, pump shoe and kameez with his finely combed back brushed hair. He used to take me with him to the Jorhat theatre. Occasionally, I would be taken backstage where he would dress up according to his role and sometimes as a woman. I used to find this very funny. Sometimes we used to watch Jatra parties from Kolkata. I always loved watching but never thought that I would act in films or theatre. Sometimes some of us would get together in someone's house and some of the boys would perform a play using bed sheets and other household implements as our equipment. This was my initiation to the world of theatre”.
He little suspected that these childhood skirmishes with theatre and cinema would one day result in fame and become a way of life for him.
Being a culturally vibrant place and home to doyens of Assamese culture such as Hem Baruah and Indreswar Sarma there was a tradition in Jorhat that matriculation candidates would enact a play. The young Majid used to assist but one day someone failed to turn up and Majid was asked to enact the absentee's role. Although hesitant, the initial reticence disappeared when onlookers applauded him for his acting. Thus, once started, there was no looking back.
Majid was part of the club called Kristi Sangha under which they started enacting the plays. With the latent talent bursting forth, the youth were soon advised by lot of people to start writing their own plays instead of enacting Bengali plays written by others, which was a norm at the time. Majid eagerly took to the task. Bonchitaa , his first play was written in 1957. Then came Dhuli Makoti followed by Sur and Sampoorno Mahabharata. Much later his play Sihot Ahise found place in a Sahitya Akademi collection of plays.
Early days
When he and his friends were around 24 -25, a wild idea about making a movie crept into their minds; wild because they had no idea about where the money would come from. “We went to Syed Abdul Malik to make his novel Matir saki into a film. He gave the go ahead. At the same time, the premiere of Smritir Porokh was being held in Jorhat for which Brojen Baruah and Nip Baruah had come. We went to meet them. We called them to watch Ronga Police. They watched the play and suggested that we should instead make Ronga Police as this would make a great movie. So we went ahead with that. 10 June 1957 – It was the mohurat of Ronga Police and the first day I came to be associated with movies.”
“I played the role of an anti-hero in the movie. I wouldn't call it negative. I tried to portray the character differently because I had done it numerous times on stage,” says Majid. It worked and his role was appreciated by many and his particular style of walking was even copied.
More movies followed and all the while he continued to engage with the medium where he first started -theatre- and gave memorable performances in plays like Spartacus, Srimanta Sankardev, Bhagawan Sri Krishna, Jibon Driver and Bazarot Omola among others.
Chameli Memsaheb
In 1975 came, Chameli Memsaheb, the second directorial venture of Abdul Majid (after Morom Trishna), a movie that would go on to win national awards for best Assamese feature film(Rajat Kamal award) and also be the first Assamese film to be screened at the Rashtrapati Bhawan. After reading the short story by Nirod Choudhury, Abdul Majid wrote the screenplay for the same and showed it to Choudhury who gave the go ahead for the same. Despite stiff opposition to the casting of Binita Borgohain as Chameli, a girl from the tea gardens, owing to her mongoloid looks, Majid decided to go ahead. He explains his choice. “I knew the acting skills of Binita so there was never any doubt in my mind about her acceptance in the eyes of the audience. The end result was there for all to see”. The film took the box office by storm and more than 30 years after the movie released it is still regarded as an Assamese classic.
It also gave him the role of Monglu, the misguided and lovelorn boy in love with Chameli, a role which he regards as one of his best performances. More directorial ventures followed in the form of Banahangsa and Banjui but he was still a few years away from becoming the synonym for villain in Assamese cinema.
Villain 101
In 1985, Pulok Gogoi directed Sendur, a social drama laced with healthy doses of action. A protesting Abdul Majid was convinced by the director that no one else could play the role of Jagat Barua, an evil zamindar and the rest is folklore today. Sendur became a super hit and Abdul Majid the villain was born. “Pulok Gogoi made me a villain. I didn't want to take up the role initially but Gogoi coaxed me saying that no one else would be able to do justice to the role.”
Hits like Puja and Suruj followed and the image of Abdul Majid the evil man became entrenched in the minds of the masses.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that apart from Dinesh Das, another epitome of onscreen devilry in Assamese cinema, nobody else has defined ‘villain’ more aptly on screen than Abdul Majid.
So who is a villain and what are the traits needed to play a villain? Majid says, “There has to be a character to a villain. Nobody can become a villain just for the sake of being bad. How does the script make or present the villain? That is important. If we see Maniram Dewan, Upaja Matir Sun, Brojen Baruah's role in Dr Bezbaruah those can be called villains.”
Surprisingly, the bad man on screen has never enacted any villainous roles in theatre.
On the present status of Assamese cinema
Assamese films might never have attained the rank of an ‘industry’ but most of the veterans cannot help but feel a pang of sadness at its present plight. Majid is no different. He sums up the present scenario succinctly when he says, “They are making films in the Assamese language but the films are not Assamese.”
“It's not that good films are not being made but the majority disappoint. You have to look at where you are. You have to look at who your audience is. There is too much emphasis on glamour without substance. Where is the glamour in Assam? Where is the glamour in the Assamese films? There is no need for it.”
Not too happy with the mobile theatre scenario in the state which he believes apes too much of the Hindi film industry he has some words of advice for them too. “If mobile theatre keeps on moving on at this rate one fine day suddenly it will collapse. When people become fed up of looking at all this they will stop paying them to watch it.”
Never one to sit idle, when he was not facing the camera, he was behind it producing immensely popular serials like Naamghoriya and Jor Puri Haat or directing culturally relevant documentaries like Puppet Dance of Assam, Azan Fakir, Bahadur Gaonburha, Music and dances of Goalpara, Rituals, Customs and culture of the Rabhas of Assam.
Today, more than 50 years after his first film, this doyen of Assamese cinema is still busy with acting in and directing projects. Still active he has just finished shooting for a film and is on the lookout for interesting scripts. For his contribution to Assamese cinema, this untiring servant of culture was given a lifetime achievement award in 2010 under the banner of Prag cine awards besides being awarded numerous times by the state government and other private organizations chief among them being the Bishnu Prasad Rabha award in 1986.

“Give me a gun and I shall once again kill the corrupt. I am old but not old enough to be unable to shed my blood for the sake of my country”, says the 95 year old man.
No, the person in front of me is not suffering from delusions but is Umesh Chandra Dev Choudhury, the oldest surviving member(in Assam) of the Indian National Army(INA), Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose's grand machination to expel the British from India.
Serving as a havildar clerk (combatant) in the British army in 1941, Choudhury was trained at Peshawar and sent to fight on behalf of the British Army to Hongkong and then to Singapore. When the British lost, he became a Prisoner of War (POW) there. Freedom fighter, Ras Behari Bose, an ardent believer in extremism for freedom started gathering the POWs.
Recalling his association with the INA, Choudhury says, “In 1943, Netaji came to Singapore from Germany after meeting Hitler. He made us realize the ultimate cause of liberating India. I remember him calling us to sing anthems at the camp during evenings. I knew Bengali very well as I had passed engineering from Rajsahi (now in Bangladesh). Netaji was impressed with me and asked me to translate leaflets from Bengali into Assamese. The leaflets would be dropped by airplanes. It was one of the greatest days when Netaji recruited me to the Azad Hind Fauj.”
“Bengal used to be the hub of revolutionary activities and I was simmering with rage to liberate the country from the colonists. Netaji always told us that if we reached Chittagong than the British will be driven out in a humiliating manner.”
However that dream remained unfulfilled as the British recaptured Singapore and the INA members were deported back. At that time, the legal proceedings and the convictions were made under a three-fold system, White, Grey and Black. The whites were the ones who testified that their reason to join INA was due to poverty or need of money and they were given least punishments. The grey category was for those convicted for harbouring mild nationalistic feelings. The last category of ‘black' was for ones who were guided by feelings of liberation and extremism to the core and had joined the INA solely to win India's independence. This category was meted out the harshest punishment. Umesh Chandra Dev Choudhury was one amongst the 20,000 blacks.
In 1946, after serving a sentence at Multan Jail, (now in Pakistan) he came back to Assam in December with a certificate stating ‘Unfit to serve in British India' and was treated like an outcast. It took four more years after independence for the certificate to be revoked and in 1951 he was recognised as a freedom fighter.
Habits die hard. At the age of 95, his defiance and anger hasn't deserted him. “This is not the independence we fought for. It is painful for me to see our present bunch of so called leaders. Their day of reckoning will come soon,” he warns.
The beauty of simplicity
Mridula Barooah – the name evokes a vivid image of an alluringly beautiful village girl, the kind that you read about in story books and the girl every man fancies to take home to their mother. Setting many a heart aflutter with her looks and acting prowess, this beautiful lady was one of the few leading ladies of the small but purposeful Assamese film industry, from the late 70s and 80s, till the early nineties.
Early days
Hailing from the small town of Sootea, in Sonitpur district of Assam, the Barooah family comprising of six children and the parents moved to Biswanath Chariali. Her father, Jogendranath Barooah, was the ‘outdoor incharge’ at the Pratapgarh tea estate and it was from here that the young Mridula Barooah started her theatrical journey by acting in dramas in school.
Recalling her introduction to acting she says, “As a child, I and my siblings went to watch movies and films with child artists in them used to be a great source of observation for us. After coming back we would compete with each other to re-enact the scenes that we had seen.”
However, her initiation into acting came much later. “Due to varied reasons I didn’t act in school plays earlier than the 10th standard. I was a painfully shy girl and the school was in Sootea, which was quite far from my home at the Pratapgarh tea estate. However, when I was in the tenth standard I decided enough was enough and that year I took part in everything right from games to drama and won prizes too!”
It was here that she received the third prize in the drama competition, the first of many awards to follow.
Another stepping stone for her imminent film career was when she received the first prize at a state level drama competition (All Assam Surjya Bora Memorial one act play competition) when she was in college.
It was here amidst this culturally vibrant atmosphere that she was discovered by director/ actor Abdul Majid who had gone to enact a role in a movie. She was promptly signed up for her first film Upopath (opposite Pranjal Saikia) with Hemanta Dutta as director and Pramod Baruah as producer. In the meantime, actor Hiren Choudhury too, saw this young girl at work and told director Dwijendra Narayan Deb who was looking for new faces for his film, Moromi. Mridula Barooah was offered the title role and thus at the young age, she had two roles opposite leading stars of the day and was juggling college and films at the same time.
“I still don’t know how everything happened but it is all thanks to these people. Everybody was very nice and cooperative. They perhaps saw something in me and thus I was offered two roles in two films so quickly.” Although Upopath was her first signed film, Moromi was her first released film.
Unlike in many cases, there was no resistance towards her acting career on the part of her parents. “There was only one condition and that was to be good at whatever I did.” And she did more than ‘good’.
In 1979, came the film Megha Mukti, where she played the role of twin sisters (the first double role in Assamese films) which established her among the public but it was the twin super hits of Buwari and Kokadeuta, Nati aru Hati which did away with any remaining doubts as to her acting abilities and firmly cemented her place in the hearts of the people.
Success followed with films like Maa and Protima which incidentally were films with women centric roles, roles where many a time she had to essay characters older than her real age.
Reflecting on this she says, “The eighties was a very good era for Assamese films in all senses and maybe it was due to the society of the period that directors were focusing more on women centric roles. Today, of course, it’s a quite different scenario.”
In the nineties, when she was at her peak, however roles and films dried up due to unrest of secessionist groups and a general demise of production houses.
Although, it would be difficult for viewers to let go of the image of the sweet innocent rustic girl attached to her, she still essayed few different roles whenever she was offered one. In Hiya Diya Niya she essayed a negative role, in Dr Bhabendra Nath Saikia’s Kaal Sandhya , where she had a guest appearance; she played the character of an innocent woman who submits to the vagaries of fate and has shades of grey. Similarly her roles in Aborton, Itihaas and Gun Gun Gaane Gaane fetched her critical acclaim.
Today, she is quite content with the way things have panned out and her long journey from lead actress to a matriarchal guide on screen. “You do feel it when suddenly you realize one day that you are no longer going to be the leading lady but it is only momentary. Playing my own age is what gives me immense satisfaction now,” says Barooah.
Adding to her repertoire, she also turned producer in the early 2000s and produced serials for Doordarshan. She also produced documentaries for the state government.
Due to a persistent leg ailment she had to spend five years from 2007 to 2011 on the sidelines but now she is ready to face the lights again and has recently completed shooting for the film Bir Chilarai.
She is however hopeful that the good times of Assamese films would come back. “The new generation of artists is very talented and if they gain access to more resources they could definitely do a lot better.”

Memorable moments in her own words
In the film, Shakuntala aru Shankar Joseph Ali, my character dies towards the end. My ‘body’ was carried through the streets of Guwahati on a mini truck. Now most people obviously didn’t know that it was not a real funeral procession and so many started paying their respects from a distance. The truck was just passing a city bus and it so happened that there was a young boy standing on the doorstep. The cameras were not rolling at the moment so I decided to open my eyes for a second. It was at that precise moment that the boy’s eyes and my eyes met as he was about to gesture as a mark of respect towards my ‘body’. To this day, I cannot forget the look on his face. I cannot describe that look. I guess it was a mix of terror and horror for him.

Excerpt from Buwari:
The origin of Assamese Cinema can be traced back to the dreams and imagination of a revolutionary visionary, Rupkonwar Jyotiprasad Agarwala, who was also a distinguished poet, playwright, composer and freedom fighter. He was instrumental in the production of the first Assamese Film Joymati, under the banner of Critrakala Movietone. Due to the lack of trained technicians, Jyotiprasad, , had to shoulder the added responsibilities of the script writer, producer, director, choreographer, editor, set and costume designer, lyricist and music director while making his maiden film. The film, completed with a budget of Rupees sixty thousand was released on March 10th, 1935. It was the third Indian talkie to be released, a fact unknown to many. It is unfortunate that like so many early Indian films, the negatives and complete prints of Joymati are missing.
The film did not do well and Jyotiprasad Agarwala had to endure heavy losses. However, despite the failure of his venture, Jyotiprasad made another film after a lapse of two years titled Indramalati (1939). It was his second and last film. The eminent composer and singer of Assam Dr. Bhupen Hazarika, played a stellar role in the film.. With the passing away of Jyotiprasad, the Assamese film scenario witnessed a temporary lull for about a couple of years. But things changed with the onset of war, Taking advantage of this, the Late Rohini Kumar Baruah made a film on a relevant historical topic called Manomati (1941). It was followed by films like Parvati Baruah’s Rupahi (1946), Kamal Narayan choudhury’s Badan Barphukan (1947), Phani Sharma’s Siraj, Asit Sen’s Biplabi, Prabin Phukan’s Parghat and Suresh Goswami’s Runumi.
But the most remarkable film of the fifties was Piyali Phukan which went on to win a National award. In 1955, a new talent Nip Barua made his directorial debut with Smriti Paras. His subsequent films Mak Aaru Moram and Ranga Police bagged many state awards and a silver medal at the national level. Dr. Bhupen Hazarika also produced and directed his first film Era Batur Sur. Prabhat Mukherjee made a film on the universality of mother-hood, Puberan (1959),which was shown at the Berlin Film Festival. The next memorable production was Lachit Borphukan by Sarbeswar Chakraborty. Dr. Bhupen Hazarika made his unforgettable musical Shakuntala (1961) which proved equally successful with critics and the press. It also won a president’s award. Following this, a number of films began to be produced regularlyproduction and were released. These included Nip Barua’s Narakasur, Anil Choudhury’s Matri Swarga, Brojen Barua’s Itu Situ Bahuto and Mukta & Anwar Hussain’s Tejimala.
By the mid-sixties , film were produced regularly in Assam and 62 films were produced between 1935 to 1970.

Uddhab Bharali is not just one of India’s best-known innovators, but also someone whose principles of non-corporatised assistance to low-income rural families has become legend. The bulk of his innovations are for people who cannot afford to buy the machinery. To these people, he gives away his machinery for free.
At a time when more and more people are leaving their homes in the Northeast to build their careers and lives abroad, hidden from the glitz and glamour of the big cities, far from sophisticated laboratories, one man toils away to make life easier for those amongst us who are less fortunate. Meet scientist, innovator and social entrepreneur Uddhab Bharali, a person whose seemingly innocuous innovations mask their tremendous utility.
With various award-winning designs such as the areca nut peeler, cement brick making machine, mini-CTC plant for small tea growers, cassava peeler and pomegranate de-seeder to his name, Uddhab Bharali is proof that inventions can be a tool for social service.
It is a pleasant afternoon and the sun is just beginning to go down for the day. A light breeze tickles the senses and the leaves of the neighbouring coconut tree.
The little man sitting in front of me is attentive as I put forward my questions. I ask him how he would define innovation. Suddenly, he stares at the coconut leaves and remarks, “Except for a safety pin and a zipper, we could innovate everything.The key to innovation lies in those coconut leaves too. Let me illustrate. Almost every rural household in Assam has a coconut tree and many people make a living by selling coconuts, but if there were a machine to process the leaves to make brooms out of them, this would add to the farmers’ existing income. This is innovation.”
It is this zeal that has led him to come up with 98 engineering devices which help make life easier and generate income for previously unemployed and low income households. “I am perhaps the only man in the world who can proudly claim that innovation is my profession,” smiles Bharali.
Bharali, originally from North Lakhimpur, has come a long way since the days of his first innovation in 1988 and, as is the scenario in most cases, he didn’t have it easy. “I had to repay a family loan of Rs 18 lakh and the bank was at my doorstep to take all our property. I was desperate,” he remembers. In those days, there was a great demand for polythene film-making plants which used to cost around Rs 5.7 lakh. Bharali had in his mind a design for a similar plant for much less. The bank agreed to lend him Rs 1 lakh. This was, he says, his only way to try and pay off the loan and save his family. He came up with a unit that cost only Rs 67,000. The product became a hit and there was no looking back for him after that. He realised that he could make a living as an innovator.
None of his innovations are for large-scale commercialisation. Instead, they are targeted at rural low-income households. He explains, “My designs are meant for people in need. Once upon a time I had nothing. I used to skip meals and sleep on an empty stomach. My innovations should mean something to those who are deprived. I am not here to strike business deals with huge corporate houses.”
Bharali charges nominal fixed sums of money from government and private parties as a consultant. But the bulk of his innovations are for people who cannot afford to buy the machinery. To these people, he gives away his machinery for free.
To keep the cost of the product down, he makes the design itself simple. Machines are usually built at the UKB Agrotech machine designing research centre, Bharali’s own institution, which he says is the only machine designing research centre in the country. “Earlier, all the machines were made at the centre only but nowadays, if it is a slightly larger device, the parts are made by different people in my home district and sent to UKB to be assembled.”
He carries forward that same zeal for innovation in teaching too by having a unique training scheme where, irrespective of one’s education, a three-month course is created for youngsters who are trained on the job by allowing them to assist his staff at the design centre. Departing from the usual practice of charging money for training, the students are instead given a stipend of Rs 1,000 and free medicines are provided to their families in times of need. This, according to Bharali is done to encourage the poor youth in the villages to come forth. However, this training comes at one cost, a self-enriching one at that. After the end of the three months, each trainee has to have acquired requisite knowledge to be able to earn Rs 2,000 from Bharali.
It is this attitude of thinking differently that has resulted in him getting recognition in the form of prestigious awards including the President’s Award for Innovation in 2009, Shristi Samman – Master Innovator Award by National Innovation Foundation, India, in 2007 and also the Meritorious Invention Award 2010 from the department of science and technology, government of India. He is also a nominee for ‘The Tech Award’ a program of Tech Museum, San Jose, California this year. He also found mention in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) journal in 2006 for his innovation of the pomegranate de-seeding machine. He was featured by Discovery channel in 2007, which he believes was responsible for some of his subsequent fame.
With so much fame and recognition, one would think that his dream would be to settle in a big city, but Bharali has shunned all glamour and is content working in his small hometown. He reasons, “See, it is very good to dream and the grass always looks greener on the other side but my philosophy is that, If I cannot local problems here, how can I even dream of solving the problems of the globe ? I think the environment where I work now is conducive to my creations. Had I been in a big city like Guwahati the glamour wouldn’t have let me work as much as I do now.”
Ninety-eight machines later, there are no signs of tiring. He is working on his dream project of building a mechanised toilet for the handicapped. He says, “The physically disabled in most cases have to remain dependent on a lot of things throughout life and in many cases for very private things like dressing, using the toilet and for feeding themselves. I would consider it to be my proudest moment as a human being if I could come up with an innovation in terms of a wheelchair which offers them all these benefits. The wheel chair will have a facility for automatic dressing and undressing of the person, attached toilet and flushing system. The chair is ready but I am still working on the certain aspects of this innovation.” He is trying to extract carbon from fly ash which is a problem for a client and also working on developing a rolling table for small tea growers. Two other future projects would be to remove iron and arsenic from drinking water in rural areas.
All of his innovations are registered with the National Innovation Foundation (NIF), an autonomous body of the department of science and technology, government of India. Right now, all the innovations are in the process of getting patented.
Bharali’s work and talent has been recognised in different prestigious academic institutions across the country and thus he is associated with the Rural Technological Action Group (RUTAG) of IIT, Guwahati. He is also a guest faculty at the Indian Institute of Entrepreneurship (IIE), Guwahati and a resource scholar to numerous schools and colleges in the state.
However, despite so much recognition, Bharali remains mindful of his humble origins and sees recognition as a means to connect to needy people. He says, “I have been fortunate enough to be recognised for my work. But today, I see recognition in a slightly different way. Recognition connects me to the needy and helps me to reach out to them.”
Inventiveness:
Among his innovations are the remi-recortication machine; areca nut peeler which has found customers in Indonesia and Ethiopia; cassava peeler which has been bought in Kenya, pomegranate de-seeder which has been exported to US and Turkey; garlic-peeling machine; tobacco-leaf cutter; paddy thresher; cane-stripping machine; brass utensil polishing machine; safed musli-peeling machine; jatropha de-seeder; mechanised weeding machine; passion fruit juice extractor; trench digger and a chopper for cattle and fisheries feed. He also designed a stevia pulveriser; multipurpose herbal dyer and passion fruit gel extractor.
With our very limited resources, we always strive to bring new things to you and, thus, for the first time on the internet, we bring you a short introduction to various spring festivals of Northeast India in one article. We are not above mistakes and, thus, if anyone notices any errors in terms of the information provided, kindly do write to us and we will rectify the same.
Spring festivals of Northeast India
Various groups of people belonging to different castes and tribes constitute what is known as the Northeast India and make it extremely rich in terms of arts and culture. There are more than 75 tribes and clans who speak more than 400 languages and dialects in this region. Although all the seven states of Manipur, Mizoram, Assam, Meghalaya, Nagaland, Tripura and Arunachal are politically defined as separate states (Sikkim forming the eighth state now), despite the vast diversity, there some common cultural threads of unity that knit together the diversity. Maybe, that is why the seven states are known as seven sisters and Sikkim is called the brother.
Northeast India, blessed with nature’s bounty, becomes moist and beautiful with the advent of spring. Along with the advent of the New Year, this also marks the onset of the agricultural season. That is why this is the period when festivals and celebrations engulf the entire region. Although some start their celebrations a bit early and others start a bit late, the atmosphere and weather remains the same and also the purpose of celebrating are quite similar. It is observed that in some festivals the way of conducting them are also similar.
The agricultural festival celebrated in Assam to welcome the spring is known as Bihu. Irrespective of caste, creed, language and religion this is a festival that is revered among all and it can be called the state festival of Assam. Along with the Aryan people in Assam, the Tai, Bodo, Chutia (Tibeto-Burman), Austric, tea tribes and migrant Muslims also celebrate the festival with such fervour and gaiety that it even transcends the barrier of religion. By doing this, it is able to unite people irrespective of religious differences. Merriment, songs and dance, dresses and ornaments, musical instruments and different cuisines make it the most colourful festival of Assam. Bihu begins in the middle of the months of Sot and Bohag (mid-April). Bihu continues for seven days starting from the day of Dumahi and under the names of Goru Bihu, Manuh Bihu, Saat Bihu, Senehi Bihu, Maiki Bihu, Rongali Bihu and Chera Bihu. The day before Dumahi is called Uruka. The start and end of the festival differs according to the community and place. The tribes of Bodos, Deuris, Lalungs (tiwa), Rabha, Mising, Dimasa, Tai, Garo and others also celebrate spring time festivals like Bihu. The Bodos call it Baisagu, the Deuris call it Bisu, Tais call it Boihu or Bihu, Dimasas call it Bushu, Rabhas call it Baikhu and the Garos call it Rongasugala. Most tribes’ spring festivals, like Bihu, start from the first Wednesday of the month of Bohag, since Wednesday is considered to be a very holy day.
The Bodos of the Mongoloid origins celebrate the seven day long colourful Baisagu festival. Along with welcoming the New Year, they also start cultivation.
The Misings celebrate the Ali Aye Ligang festival. The word ‘Ali’ means ‘seeds’, ‘Aye’ means ‘fruits’ and ‘Ligang’ means ‘sowing’. As with many other festivals in Northeast India prayer, dance and feasting are integral parts of the festival. The festival starts on the day of sowing of Aahu (upland rice) and Bau (deep water rice) paddy. Starting on the first day of the month of Fagun (February), the festival continues for five days. Playing the instruments like Dhol, Pepa, Gogana, Borkah, taal, the youth celebrate and perform the Gumrag dance. In order to pray for a prosperous new year, they remember their ancestors and the nature god Donyi Polo (sun and moon).
Similarly, the Dimasas, celebrate the Bushu festival in the mid of Fagun and Sot month.
Rabhas celebrate the Baikhu festival before starting their cultivation in spring. In this festival, they worship the god Baikhu, to make the earth fertile. The Rabha youth sing sathar songs to stimulate nature.
The Tai Buddhists living in the plains of Assam also celebrate Poiu Chang Ken (the water splashing festival). Tai khamti, Tai Phake, Tai Aiton, Tai Turung and Tai Khamyangs celebrate this festival. In observance of this festival, they perform ablutions on the statue of Buddha after bringing it outside the temples. The youth express joy and celebrate by throwing water and mud on each other.
Tribes of Arunachal, Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram and Meghalaya also celebrate spring festivals. The Nocte, Tangsa and Tutsa tribes from the Tirap district of Arunachal Pradesh celebrate a festival called Loku which is celebrated three times in a year. The Loku which they celebrate during spring is called Kap Khut Loku. During this festival they celebrate by consuming the meat of pigs and chicken and sing and dance to the beats of drums, flutes and other musical instruments. During this time, the Tangsa and Tutsas celebrate Loku by singing songs with erotic undertones. These songs are also a means of expressing their emotions. The Wangchos and Konyak tribes of Nagaland also celebrate this kind of festival just before sowing of Aahu dhan in the month of Fagun and Sot (March- April).
Christianity and modernity has greatly influenced the tribes like the Ao, Angami, Lotha, Sema and other major tribes of Nagaland and because of that there is a gradual decrease in the observance of their rites, rituals, festivals and celebrations. But despite these external influences, they have tried to preserve their culture. Tsungrem Mong and Moatsu are two agricultural spring festivals of the Aos. The Angami Nagas celebrate a ten day festival in the month of February called Sekrenyi. The festival is celebrated after harvesting and falls on the 25th day of the Angami month of Kezei. Angamis cut steppes on the sides of the hill to cultivate their crops. In the month of April, they thresh the crops and celebrate the Ngyui festival. The Sema nagas celebrate their spring festival once they hear the voice of the koel bird. Aoling is a 6-day festival observed by the Konyaks after the completion of sowing. It marks the end of the winter, the beginning of spring and the New Year. The Shishu festival of the Rengmas is also a spring time agricultural festival. The Sangtam nagas spring festival, Nyitsumu is also celebrated for three days which has a similarity with the sowing festival of Misings known as Ali Aye Ligang. Nazu is another 10 day long festival celebrated by the Pochury tribe of Nagaland in February prior to the sowing of seeds to bid farewell to the old year and welcome the New Year. The Tanghkhul Nagas also have a sowing festival to celebrate the feel of the spring. Mao, Kobbui and other naga communities also have their spring festivals.
The Mizos and the Lushais also have the festival of Chapchar where dance and songs take precedence. The Meitis of Manipur also have a festival to welcome the New Year and spring called Soirua.
The Syiem community of Khasis of Meghalaya also celebrate the Nongkrem festival for five days within the months of May, June and July.
Arunachal Pradesh is a melting pot of varied and colourful cultures. Each of the tribes living in Arunachal has their own distinct culture. Monpa, Sherdukpen and other Buddhist communities celebrate Buddha purnima (birthday of Buddha) during spring. The Khamtis and Singhpos also celebrate similar festivals. These festivals are however basically religious festivals. The Mopin festival of the Galo Adis also bears resemblance to the Bohag Bihu of Assam in terms of organization and objective. Adis also celebrate Aam Dorung and Aam Dangdorun festivals with gaiety and merriment. The Mloku festival of Apatanis is also a similar festival.
In this way, we see that the entire Northeast India celebrates varied and colourful spring festivals. In many of them, similarity of character is seen in terms of welcoming the New Year and their agricultural character. This has helped to foster a spirit of unity in diversity in the culture of this region. Commonness can be seen even in the distinct instruments, clothes, food, ornaments, rituals and rites of the different communities.
A very brief overview of the various festivals of Northeast India is sought to be given here and there is a need for more research and studies regarding this aspect of the culture. In this area fertile with cultural richness, the field of research is still a virgin territory.

Long before scripted drama came into existence; man had started using puppets to convey varied messages. Puppets seem to have existed since time immemorial in civilizations across the globe. According to the Encyclopaedia Britannica, in Europe, the written records for use of puppets go back to the 5th century B.C. whereas in Asia there are ancient traditions of puppet theatre, the origin of which cannot be determined.
India has an ancient tradition of puppet theatre which can be traced back to the time of the civilizations at Harappa and Mohenjodaro.
Although there are other types of puppetry in India, string puppetry is common to India and is practiced in the states of Rajasthan, Kerala, Karnataka, West Bengal, Assam, Orissa, Tripura, Manipur, Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh.
In Manipur, art and culture are not merely entertainment or decoration but also a form of religious expression given the deep roots of the people in vaishnavism.
Two types of puppets have been prevalent in Manipur since ages – string and rod. The themes for puppet theatre are mostly based on myths and legends and stories from the epics.
Puppet dance has a separate name of its own in Manipur: Laithibi Jagoi (Laithibi meaning doll and Jagoi meaning dance). The traditional string puppet of Manipur is known as ‘Hang- Lai Jagoi’ and is colourfully dressed and highly stylized.
The themes of puppets are based on the stories of Radha and Lord Krishna. In Manipur, the puppeteer plays with Mridanga and Khon-Pung. The delivery of dialogues, the movements of the puppet and the musicians are very well synchronized. String puppetry, resembling human or divine figures, is performed at Rasleela, whereas puppet-shows with animal and demonic forms are performed during Gostha Leela.
Puppetry in Manipur and its implementation
It is said that the art of puppetry was introduced in Manipur during the reign of Maharaj Chandrakriti Singh (1850-1886) in Goura-Leela under the supervision of Oja Ngangbam Mala Singh of Uripok, Imphal. Although, it may be mentioned here that puppet theatre in Manipur is said to be even older than human theatre. According to Late Guru Kongrailatpam Madangopal Sharma of Uripok Tera, Imphal, one of the pioneer puppeteers of Manipur, puppets were used after the Nipa Pala and just before the start of Goura-Leela as pungyeiba (Mridanga player), Tanyeiba (percussion music player) and dancer (puppet dancer) in the Goura-Leela performance. In this way, puppetry in Manipur was first introduced through the Goura-Leela.
This form of puppet theatre is based on the life and works of Gauranga Mahaprabhu, a passionate devotee of Lord Krishna, who lived in Nadia region of West Bengal. Mahaprabhu, who sang praises of God and propagated Bhakti Yoga, is revered by many Hindus in Bengal and Manipur as a reincarnation of Lord Vishnu.
There are also records of Shri Ngangbam Udhop Singh, the exponent of modern Manipuri puppetry performing before foreign dignitaries in Calcutta (Kolkata) during the reign of Maharaja Sir Shurachandra Singh (CBE).
The puppeteers sit on an elevated platform and a black screen is hung from the floor of the platform to the stage where the puppets are put. The puppets are lowered to the stage and moved around with the aid of black strings which are not visible due to the black screen in the background.
Today, with much more flashier modern distractions at hand, it is a struggle to keep puppetry alive in Manipur as Gurumayum Jadu Sharma would say. The founder of the Moppet Decoration and Cultural Centre, Manipur the only puppetry centre in the state, he hopes that future generations would take up puppetry.
It is with this hope that he has also passed down his skills with the strings to his son, Basanta Sharma.
“It is an expensive art. From making the puppets to organizing the shows, we have to spend money on everything. Financial aid is almost negligible”, says Basanta Sharma.
Puppets tell stories and convey tales. They connect us with a simpler time of the past and carry messages for the present. They are catalysts for social change. If they die, some stories also die along with them and it is stories that keep us alive. Hopefully some concerned people will wake up to the need of preservation of this art form soon before it is too late.

(This article may contain spoilers)
Semkhor, directed by and starring Assamese actor Aimee Barua, is the first feature film in the Dimasa language. But it has sparked a furore among the Dimasa community of Assam for “misrepresenting” their customs and traditions in the film.
The film was screened at national as well as international film festivals and was awarded the Rajat Kamal at the 68th National Film Awards. It was commercially released on 23 September 2022.
One of the authors of this piece was present at the film’s screening at Delhi’s India Habitat Centre during the Habitat International Film Festival in May 2022.
Informed by Dimasa friends about the screening, we were excited to watch and support a movie made in our language. By then, the trailer of the film had been circulated widely on various social media platforms.
We waited for the film with great excitement as we thought it would be telling our story, for the first time, on a bigger screen. But the film left a deep sense of betrayal for us as Dimasa viewers. We found its portrayal of Dimasa customs and traditions, prejudiced.
The film, in the director’s own words, “attempts” to capture Semkhor’s Dimasa inhabitants in their essence: their environment, their traditions and customs, and their way of life.
The dialogues and costumes in the movie seem authentic. As it was shot on location, using Dimasa actors, each scene has a veneer of authenticity. However, behind this veneer there is a great deal of misrepresentation.
The Semkhor Dimasas are shown as isolated people, hostile even to Dimasas who are residents of another village.
At the time of the mother’s cremation, the baby is buried alive by the family members. More than three scenes in the movie depict such infanticide. It is also shown that these babies are female, though it is not clear in the movie whether the community practises female infanticide only.
The protagonist (Aimee Baruah) of the film is deeply disturbed by this practice, and is compelled to go against her village, endangering her own life to save a baby from meeting such a horrific fate.
Therefore, the fabricated premise of the movie is shown as a fact. During media interactions with the director, Aimee Baruah has repeatedly pointed out that this practice is part of the Semkhor Dimasas’ culture.
She has claimed that Semkhor Dimasas have shunned development interventions, and destroyed roads to prevent outsiders from entering their village.
Aimee Baruah further took to social media to defend the film by stating that the story is ‘completely fictional.’ She wrote on her Facebook page ‘the plotline of my film Semkhor was created on the basis of information that we collected from newspapers, books, magazines and a few individuals.’
She further claims that the attempt of her film was ‘to draw the attention to our society to the beauty of the location, the local language, the attire and so on.’ The Dimasa public remains dissatisfied with the statement made by the film-maker.
The film has taken its name from a village called Semkhor located in Dima Hasao district of Assam. The word ‘Semkhor’ comprises two Dimasa words ‘Sem’ meaning salt and ‘khor’ means well.
The people living in the village identify themselves as ‘Semsas’ and are a part of the Dimasa tribe. The Dimasas are among the few tribal communities in India (including Todas) who follow a system of double descent lineage consisting of both patrilineal and matrilineal clans. Dual descent from both the mother and the father allows women and men to have an equal position and respect in Dimasa society.
Semkhor being located on the hilltop was strategically important for the British to keep an eye on the raiding tribes from neighbouring hills into tea gardens in Cachar. Ethnographer J.P. Mills had collected many photographs of Semkhor in 1927.
By the Government of India Act 1935, Dima Hasao (erstwhile North Cachar Hills) was administered as an ‘Excluded Area’ (excluded from reform and normal administration). In the post-independence period, the district was declared as Autonomous Council district – a provision provided under 6th Schedule of the Indian constitution.
Anthropologist Dipali Danda’s Among the Dimasa of Assam (1977) is the first ethnographic account on Dimasas. She stated that Dimasas were very hospitable and usually entertained guests with tea. This was observed by her even in the village of Semkhor as well (p.127). No known practice of female infanticide was recorded in her study. Even today, Semkhor villagers frequented the weekly market at Maibang mainly on foot for their everyday needs by bringing their bamboo crafted products. A local politician had even built a resting place some years back at the centre of the market for the Semkhor people.
Semkhor does have its share of problems, like many regions in India. According to the 2011 Census, its literacy rate is an abysmal 9.2 percent compared to 72.19 percent in Assam overall. Its child sex ratio was 880 females per thousand males, pointing to gender discrimination.
Its infrastructural needs are not met. The nearest hospital is 30 km away. But the causes of these problems should not be pinned down on the Semkhor Dimasas’ alleged reluctance to change, as Baruah seems to have depicted.
She resorts to the stereotypes of backward, isolated, self-indulgent tribe while promoting her film. In her media interactions session at 52nd IFFI 2021 held in Goa, Baruah narrated a story about the “unfriendly attitude” of Semkhor inhabitants towards developmental processes such as roads, healthcare system, schools and so on.
These statements from the film-maker’s interview reeks of a ‘civilising mission,’ undertaken much like the colonial state, where the tribes were presented as primitive, dangerous and often characterised as ‘criminal tribes.’ Representation and views on Dimasas by the film-maker remains at the core of this ‘othering’ process. Thus, Semkhor continues the process of ‘othering’ of people living in the margins of society against the dominant majority as those who need to be rescued or given agency as they can’t stand up for themselves. And it is very clearly evident from the interviews of the film-maker.
As films are said to be a powerful tool in the construction of an identity, films such as Semkhor do provide a case of misrepresentation of a tribal community (in this case, the Dimasas) in the mainstream consciousness. The film failed to capture the subjective realities, does not explore the actual lifestyle and worldviews of Semkhor inhabitants.

The National Film Award for Best Feature Film is one of the categories in the National Film Awards presented annually by the Directorate of Film Festivals, the organisation set up by Ministry of Information and Broadcasting in India. It is one of several awards presented for feature films and awarded with the Golden Lotus (Swarna Kamal). The award is announced for films produced in a year across the country, in all Indian languages. As of 2017, the award comprises a Swarna Kamal, a certificate, and a cash prize of ₹ 2,50,000 and is presented to the producer and the director of the film.
The National Film Awards were established in 1954 to "encourage production of the films of a high aesthetic and technical standard and educational and culture value" and also planned to include awards for regional films.[1] The awards were instituted as "State Awards for Films" but were renamed to "National Film Awards" at the 15th National Film Awards in 1967.[2] As of 2017, the award is one of six Swarna Kamal awards presented for the feature films. The award-winning film is included at the annual International Film Festival of India. Only the films made in any Indian language and silent films which are either shot on 35 mm, in a wider gauge, or digital format but released on a film or Video/Digital format and certified by the Central Board of Film Certification as a feature film or featurette are made eligible for the award.[3]
The inaugural award was named as "President's Gold Medal for the All India Best Feature Film" and was awarded to Marathi film, Shyamchi Aai (Shyam's Mother), produced and directed by Pralhad Keshav Atre and is based on Pandurang Sadashiv Sane's Marathi novel of the same name.[1]
As of 2022 (2024), 69 feature films have been awarded the National Film Award for Best Feature Film:
Bengali 22, Malayalam 13, Hindi 12, Kannada 6, Marathi 5, Tamil 4, Assamese 2, Sanskrit 2, Gujarati 1, Beary 1 & Telugu 1. At the 26th National Film Awards (1978), no feature film was awarded with the Best Feature film award as the jury headed by filmmaker Chetan Anand scrutinised eighty films but did not consider any film to be "worthy of merit" and "measured up to the standard of excellence set forth by the jury".[4] At the 59th National Film Awards, two feature films shared the award; Marathi film Deool (Temple) and Beary film Byari.[5] Most recently, the award is presented to the film Rocketry: The Nambi Effect, directed by R. Madhavan.

Rima Dasâ film Bulbul Can Sing has bagged the National Award on Friday for the Best Assamese Film. The critically acclaimed feature, in fact, also won the Best Indie Film at the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne (IFFM) in Victoria, Australia earlier this week.
Sharing her excitement on the matter, the director speaks exclusively to Firstpost. Das says, “(I’m) Very happy that Bulbul Can Sing is awarded the National Film for Best Assamese Film. I am all smiles since Shah Rukh Khan broke this news here at the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne. Thanks to God and the universe for National Film Award for the second year in a row. May I have the strength to keep making the films that touch people’s hearts. Special thanks to my family and the team for their unwithering support and love.”

A patriarch (Chabi Biswas) runs his household sternly. His son (Soumitro) brings home a daughter-in-law after marriage. The man has a dream that his daughter-in-law (Sharmila Tagore) is a goddess. A strange incident occurs whereby a sick child gets cured when brought to her.
Predictably when she is put on a divinely pedestal, things go wrong. .. A sequence depicts the patriarch falling at the feet of his daughter-in-law. Even when she tries to flee with her husband, she returns after witnessing an image of a goddess lying on a river bank. This expose on religious superstition is based on a story by Prabhat Mukhopadhyay. The film is directed by Satyajit Ray, and music is scored by Ali Akbar Khan.
An interesting trivia is that the Brahmo director composed a Shyama Sangeet in this film.
Rating: 3 out of 5
This film was released in 1993, an Indo-Bangladesh production. Padma Nadir Majhi (Boatman of the river Padma) is based on a classic novel by Manik Bandopadhyay. The work is based on the life of fishermen, who eke out a living from the catches they make from the unpredictable river Padma. The hopes and aspirations, despair and grief and longings for a better life of this downtrodden community has been well brought out by the Director. The abject poverty which stares in the face of these beleaguered people almost every day has been skillfully woven into the narrative of this film.
In the past, there has been two significant films made on the life of fisher folks in Bengali films. They include Ritwik Ghatak’s Titas Ekti Nadir Naam and Rajen Tarafdar’s Ganga. So, this work by Gautam Ghosh can be considered in a series of trilogy on fishermen.
The film has been shot both in India and Bangladesh. The central character is Kubir played by Asaad who is a tall, strapping fisherman. Initial sequences depict the exploitation of these hapless people, where their catches made after a lot of struggle hardly earns them the money in the market. Even residents from neighborhood take away fishes from them without paying on several occasions. It is indeed a hard life for them.
Enters Hossian Miya (Utpal Dutt), a trader who offers to take this community to Moynadeep and offer them a better life there. It is apparent that Hossian Miya has a flourishing business there, because he has recently purchased a huge boat because of expanding business.
However, people who return from Moynadeep after working there has a different tale to narrate. Rasu (Sunil Mukherjee) and Aminuddin (Robi Ghosh) say that Moynadeep is infested with lions and tigers, and there is forest all around. Rasu has fled from Moynadeep deserting his wife and children there. Aminuddin, too, refuses to go back to Moynadeep again.
Kubir has a wife and daughter and also recently blessed with a child. His wife is beset with a leg deformity, and his daughter is grown up and engaged to a local man. Kubir goes to pay a visit to his relatives from his wife’s side. On return, he brings along his sister-in-law Kapila (Roopa Ganguly) along with a ton of small kids. Kapila was married, but is now estranged from her husband.
A sneaky amorous relationship develops between Kubir and Kapila. Staying with a deformed wife and coupled with amorous gestures from his alluring sister-in-law Kubir succumbs to her wishes of passion play. However, Kapila’s husband re-appears and takes her away with him.
Suddenly one day a storm rises in the Padma. And leaves behind a trail of destruction. Kubir tells his wife “Padda amago joto daay abar totoi loy ” (It is true Padda gives us a lot, but in return it also takes a lot from us). Gautam Ghosh deserves kudos for beautifully capturing the stormy sequences on celluloid. Indeed, these disaster sequences are hauntingly filmed and lingers in one’s mind.
Storm wreaks havoc in the village. Hussian Miya offers to lend a helping hand to the villagers. He does so, but in return he takes their thumb impression as proof of his help so that he can use it later to exploit them.
Meanwhile Kubir’s daughter’s marriage breaks down. Rasu proposes to marry her. Even though Rasu was close to Kubir, he refuses to accept the match because of the age difference between them. Rasu becomes furious and threatens to ruin Kubir.
He succeeds in his endeavor. Kubir is fabricated in a theft case, and police is now trying to nab him. He flees, and go to Hussain Miya for help. Hossain Miya tells he can absolve him of the theft charge, but in return Kubir must go to Moynadeep. Kubir agrees to the offer.
Kubir goes to Moynadeep. A new life unfolds for him there. These concluding sequences from the film adds up to a compelling climax.
The music was scored by Gautam Ghosh and Alauddin Khan. The film was made in Bengali.
I am unsure as to why the book has been titled as Childhood days. In fact, there are two aspects in the book the first of course relates to the childhood days of the filmmaker which is roughly about 80 pages. One gets a glimpse of the curious mind of the remarkably talented personality through the narration, albeit a tad heavy on the personal details some of which is quite uninteresting to a lay reader. The second part which tells about the experiences of the filmmaker is quite informative for a film buff and outlines the pains and hardship entailed in the filmmaking process.
The second part is about 85-90 pages. The film experiences that have been mentioned are the films which involved ‘outdoor shooting’ mostly, and ‘Pather Panchali’ (shot in Boral, a village near Kolkata), ‘Goopy Gane Bagha Byne’ & ‘Sonar Kella’ (Jaiselmer) & “Joy Baba Felunath” & “Aparajito’ (Varanasi) gets highlighted. Just to shoot a particular shot often takes days for a filmmaker – an 8-10 hours of grueling shooting in a day can result in just 3 minutes of screen time. Isn’t that incredulous?
The redeeming feature of the book is obviously the details about the lesser known actors like Kamu Mukherjee who had a great sense of humor, actors and technicians who have been associated with Ray for a long period. How Ray tackled royalty (like the Maharaja of Jodhpur) or the swelling crowds, how often to shoot a particular sequence Ray had to wait for a year (like the train sequence in Pather Panchali), how he improvised on sequences like in ‘Goopy Gayne Bagha Byne’ where in a particular sequence Goopy & Bagha were transported from a snowy land(Shimla) to a desert(Jaiselmer) which Ray filmed in a reverse mode with Goopy & Bagha actually falling from a tree and when played in reverse it appeared they jumped up and landed on a tree finds its way into the book. Noted cinematographer Subrata Mitra innovated bounce lighting during the shooting of Ray’s APARAJITO.
The second part deserves a 4-pointer, the first a two out of five.
Rating: 3 out of 5
It is a big thumbs-up when three non-Bengalis (Mira Nair, Irrfan Khan & Tabu) gets into the nuances of Bengali culture and make a convincing film. Based on a novel by Jhumpa Lahiri, the film NAMESAKE highlights the immigrant experience of a Bengali family in America. The film
is rightly paced capturing the transitions and the developments in a credible way. The filming is superlative with an International crew grabbing the essence and the landmarks (like Howrah Bridge) of the city without blemish. The quiet romance between Tabu and Irrfan is endearing. The sequence where Tabu alone in the house gets to know about the passing
away of her husband and breaks down in their garden demonstrates her acting prowess.
In a similar way, Karl Penn, who plays the son, does well in dramatic sequences when he breaks down on the pillow where his father had slept last. There are several wonderful cameos as well by actors from the Kolkata film industry – Sabyasachi Chakraborty as the father & Kharaj Mukhopadhyay as a servant of the family in the ancestral home of Tabu. The tendencies of immigrants to live within their communities, the blossoming of romance between a second generation immigrant (the son Karl Penn)with a white woman with its complexities have been neatly juxtaposed into the narrative.

The origin of Assamese Cinema can be traced back to the dreams and imagination of a revolutionary visionary, Rupkonwar Jyotiprasad Agarwala, who was also a distinguished poet, playwright, composer and freedom fighter. He was instrumental in the production of the first Assamese Film Joymati, under the banner of Critrakala Movietone. Due to the lack of trained technicians, Jyotiprasad, , had to shoulder the added responsibilities of the script writer, producer, director, choreographer, editor, set and costume designer, lyricist and music director while making his maiden film. The film, completed with a budget of Rupees sixty thousand was released on March 10th, 1935. It was the third Indian talkie to be released, a fact unknown to many. It is unfortunate that like so many early Indian films, the negatives and complete prints of Joymati are missing.
The film did not do well and Jyotiprasad Agarwala had to endure heavy losses. However, despite the failure of his venture, Jyotiprasad made another film after a lapse of two years titled Indramalati (1939). It was his second and last film. The eminent composer and singer of Assam Dr. Bhupen Hazarika, played a stellar role in the film.. With the passing away of Jyotiprasad, the Assamese film scenario witnessed a temporary lull for about a couple of years. But things changed with the onset of war, Taking advantage of this, the Late Rohini Kumar Baruah made a film on a relevant historical topic called Manomati (1941). It was followed by films like Parvati Baruah’s Rupahi (1946), Kamal Narayan choudhury’s Badan Barphukan (1947), Phani Sharma’s Siraj, Asit Sen’s Biplabi, Prabin Phukan’s Parghat and Suresh Goswami’s Runumi.
But the most remarkable film of the fifties was Piyali Phukan which went on to win a National award. In 1955, a new talent Nip Barua made his directorial debut with Smriti Paras. His subsequent films Mak Aaru Moram and Ranga Police bagged many state awards and a silver medal at the national level. Dr. Bhupen Hazarika also produced and directed his first film Era Batur Sur. Prabhat Mukherjee made a film on the universality of mother-hood, Puberan (1959),which was shown at the Berlin Film Festival. The next memorable production was Lachit Borphukan by Sarbeswar Chakraborty. Dr. Bhupen Hazarika made his unforgettable musical Shakuntala (1961) which proved equally successful with critics and the press. It also won a president’s award. Following this, a number of films began to be produced regularlyproduction and were released. These included Nip Barua’s Narakasur, Anil Choudhury’s Matri Swarga, Brojen Barua’s Itu Situ Bahuto and Mukta & Anwar Hussain’s Tejimala.
By the mid-sixties , film were produced regularly in Assam and 62 films were produced between 1935 to 1970. Besides the film makers already referred to, many others engaged in film making during the period included Pravin Sharma, Saila Barua, Abdul Mazid, Amar Pathak, Indukal Pattazarika, Diben Barua, Debkumar Basu, Amulya Manna, Gauri Barman, Atul Bardoloi, Sujit Singh, Nalin Duara and Prafulla Barua.
During the period of 1970-82 a total of 57 Assamese films were made. The emergence of new directors also bolstered the health of the fast maturing industry. Samarendra Narayan Deb’s Aranya (1970), Kamal Choudhury’s Bhaity (1972) the first colour film of Assam, Manoranjan Sur’s Uttaran (1973), Deuti Barua’s Bristi (1974) Pulok Gogoi’s Khoj (1974) Padam Barua’s Ganga Chilanir Pakhi (1976) and Dr. Bhabendranath Saikia’s Sandhya Rag (1977) and Atul Bordoloi’s Kollol (1978) are films worth – mentioning.
The outstanding directors of contemporary Assamese Cinema are Jahnu Baruah (Aparoopa, Papori, Haladhia Choraye Baodhan Khai, Banani, Firingoti, Hkhagoroloi Bohu Door) ; Sanjeev Hazarika (Haladhar, Meemanxa); Late Dr. Bhabendaranath Saikia (Anirbaan, Agnisnaan, Sarothi, Kolahol, Abartan, Itihaas, Kaal Sandhya) Dr. Santwana Bordoloi (Adajya) and Bidyut Chakraborty (Rag Birag).

Guwahati, Oct 30: Basanta Kumar Baruah and Bobby Sarma Baruah's Assamese film 'Deoka' (Walking in the Air) has been selected for co-production market of National Film Development Corporation of India's (NDFC) Film Bazaar.
This year, 20 projects from 11 countries have been selected to participate in the market. The line-up is an eclectic mix of stories in Assamese, Bengali, Dari, English, German, Hindi, Kannada, Konkani, Malayalam, Marathi, Nepali, Portuguese, Sinhala, Tamil, and Telugu.
"This is a great opportunity for me to work with some of the best in the business from across the globe," an elated Baruah told The Assam Tribune.
"It means a lot to me and I'm eagerly looking forward to start my work."
The selected filmmakers will be pitching their projects virtually to international and Indian producers, distributors, festival programmers, financiers, and sales agents at open pitch online.
On the first day of Film Bazaar Online, the pitches will be played out virtually and made available for delegates to watch in different time zones.
Film Bazaar, created and organised by the NFDC, is a platform exclusively created to encourage collaboration between the international and South Asian film fraternities. The market aims at facilitating the sales of world cinema in the region.
In 2020, due to the unprecedented situation of the COVID-19 pandemic, the decision to conduct Film Bazaar virtually was taken. A total of 315 delegates logged in from 37 countries.
Bobby Sarma Baruah is an award-winning filmmaker, film researcher, producer, and screenwriter. Adomya, her debut feature, was adjudged as the best film in the spiritual category at the 13th Dhaka International Film Festival. Her second venture, Sonar Baran Pakhi, won the audience choice award at the 15th Dhaka International Film Festival and the Grand Jury Award at the 15th Indian Film Festival of Los Angeles. Her third feature, Mishing, won the Silver Lotus Award in the 66th National Film Awards.
"This has been one of the projects which is close to my heart and we have been working very sincerely for a long time," said the director.
Sulakhyana Baruah of Imaging Media is the producer. Adomya is Baruah's first feature film as an actor. In Maj Rati Keteki, directed by Santwana Bordoloi, Baruah was the protagonist with Adil Hussain.
Incorporated in 1975, the NFDC was established by the Union Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, with the primary objective being the promotion of a good cinema movement.

The director of the play was late BudhinSarma. He used to teach us how to perform. After seeing my performance, he was very pleased with my acting and called our group to make some changes in the play. I was then given the role of the main character. Our play was well received by the audience and the judges. In that play, I got the award of Best Actress from Handique Girls’ College and the next year, I repeated the feat.
Moloya Goswami is a renowned actor from Assam. Her performance in the movie Firingoti(Spark) won rave reviews and she went on to bag the Best Actress Award in the 39th National Film Awards 1992.Since her debut in films, she has never failed to mesmerise her fans with her performances. She has also worked as a lecturer in Education atJagiroad College. Excerpts from an interview:
Tell us about yourself, your family and educational background.
My father belonged to the prominent Rajkhowa family of Sivasagar. I resided with my parents and my elder sister. I was born in Dibrugarh. My father’s job was a transferrable one, so he had to travel a lot. My father used to work in the Assam State Electricity Board(ASEB). So, when he was transferred to Nagaon, we all shifted there. My schooling started in Nagaon and our life was very simple. My sister used to go to school and I used to follow her to school. In those days there were no restrictions on going to school by following your elder sister. That was the way I got admitted to school. I think when I was in class 4 or 5 we shifted to Guwahati and I took admission in TC Girls’ School. I completed my graduation from Handique Girls’ College and I completed my Masters in Education from Gauhati University.
How did you get interested in acting. Who was your biggest inspiration behind pursuing acting?
When I was a student, I got interested in drama. When I was in school, I never thought I would ever perform in a drama but there was a silver jubilee function in our school, where I first essayed a role. I had a group where we decided to perform a play written by Aarati Das, who was in All India Radio. And I had the advantage of my sister also being a member in our group. When we performed the play, it was just for fun as we wanted our parents to come and watch our performances. I still remember when I asked my parents about my performance, my mother said she could not hear my voice. At that time, there was no microphone and we had to go and speak our dialogues in front of a stand mike. At that point oftime it did not cross my mind that I would one day enter the field of acting.
Next, when I started college, in my second year some girls from the Philosophy department decided to perform a play in the college week for a competition. They had a very good story. They were very good friends of mine and I requested them to allow me to participate. But since they were from Philosophy Major, they were a bit sceptical of allowing me to perform in their group. But luckily for me they didn’t have anyone to enact the role of a particular character and so they approached me to do the role. I was happy and readily agreed to play the part. The director of the play was late BudhinSarma. He used to teach us how to perform. After seeing my performance, he was very pleased with my acting and called our group to make some changes in the play. I was then given the role of the main character. Our play was well received by the audience and the judges. In that play, I got the award of Best Actress from Handique Girls’ College and the next year, I repeated the feat. This was a turning point for me. When I was studying in Gauhati University, a cultural organisation named New Art Players wanted me to act in a very beautiful drama translated from the Hindi play,Ashar ka Ek Din, which was written by Mohan Rakesh. The Assamese play was entitled Uterkhita Mallika, and in that play I essayed the character of Mallika. This was my first step towards acting on stage. My parents and my elder sister encouraged me a lot. My father especially was always at my beck and call and used to accompany me to all my rehearsals and my performances. I also used to play games during my schooldays and my father always encouraged me in whatever I did. I have worked with some renowned theatre personalities from New Art Players like Debo Kumar Nath, Arup Chakraborty, Satya Prasad Baruah, Narayan Bezbaruah, Sambhu Gupta and Girish Choudhury. I learned a lot of things from them. I acted in numerous plays like Lobhita, Mrinal Bahini, Palashor Rong,etc.
I cannot say that a particular person was my inspiration because I never started out with that aim. Maybe it was in my blood, and I had the support of my family.
You have acted in some renowned films. Can you tell us about the experience
The number of films that I have worked in is very small and my entry into films was very late. It is not that I did not get any offer, but in those days my mother used to worry a lot and was hesitant about letting me act in films. So, I also never forced them to let me work in films. They never stopped me, but they were a little worried. One day I got an offer from late Bhabendra Nath Saikia to work for his film Agnisnaan which was based on his novel Antareep. In the movie I played the lead role of ‘Menaka’. My husband’s family encouraged me to act in the movie. The movie is a masterpiece. I was nominated for the award of Best Actress for the National Awards. But I missed the award. After that I acted in a movie Maa. My third movie was Jahnu Baruah’s Firingoti. For this movie I got the prestigious National Award for Best Actress in 1992.
Tell us about the most satisfying character you have played so far. Do you believe that you could do full justice to the character?
As a performing artist I have always tried to do justice to the characters I have played. Maybe, at times I have failed, I cannot say. My audience will be able to tell me whether I have been successful in doing justice to the characters I have played. I try to understand and get into the skin of the characters so that I can do justice to the part I have to enact. When I was essaying the role of Menaka, I tried to be that character as far as possible. It was like becoming Menaka and not just acting her part.
Satisfaction is a great thing. When I playdifferent roles in the movies I always think how best can Isatisfy my audience, fulfil their expectations.
You were also working as a lecturer in Jagiroad College. Can you tell us more about your experience as a teacher
I was working in the Education Department ofJagiroadCollege. This is my other identity -- that of being a college teacher. My students are like my own children. The mental peace that I got when I spent time with my students, cannot be compared with anything. The satisfaction of being a teacher cannot be compared to anything. My entire career as a teacher was spent in JagiroadCollege. I have retired now, but JagiroadCollege gave me a different identity apart from being an actor and this counts in a big way in my life. I have discovered new sides to me while working as a teacher. I won the best actress in 1992 when I was working in Jagiroad College. I still remember, the atmosphere of the College that day. It was so memorable it will forever remain engraved in my memory. The whole college celebrated my win. Many people came to take my interview. The atmosphere at the college changed completely. Even today when I happen to meet my students, they hug me out of affection. The happiness, the accolades, the love and affection from students and colleagueswas an unforgettable experience of my life.
Tell us about your awards and achievements
Firstly, awards give you a recognition. It is a respect towards your work. I have never worked to receive awards, and nobody does that. But when someone appreciates you, even with their words it is a big recognition. When you are doing good work and people appreciate you for that, by telling you that you have done a very good job that is a big recognition and encouragement. Therefore, when somebody givesme awards appreciating my hard work, it gives me an inner strength to work harder and become better. My most memorable awards if I would sayso isthe National Award for Best Actress. That is a big chapter in my life. Recently I got the opportunity to go to Houstan in USA, and there also people of the Assamese community bestowed a lot honour and respect. I have also got the Prag Cine award, Joymoti Award, AideoHandique Memorial Award which is given by the SodauAxomLekhikaSamaroh Samiti, Bina Prasad Award, and Leo Advertising Award.
I think that getting an award makes me feel associated with the names of the awards. It is gives one a feeling of being rewarded.
Tell us about the projects you are working on currently. Can you tell us more about your upcoming projects?
After my retirement I have worked in some serials. Right now I am shooting for the entertainment channel of NKTV, namely Spondon. And very recently I have worked in Parvez Ahmed’s EtiTumar. It is a guest appearance and the audience will see me in a different light. Apart from that I am working with the young generation and I am very happy because working with children gives one another level of satisfaction. I worked in the movie Calendar with Himjyoti Talukdar, who is a young boy and I loved working with him. I have also worked with MrinmoySaikiaand Nibir Barua. I have also acted in two short films Nimila Onko which has been released in two parts. The audience also loved the movie. The new generation is very talented. And those who are working seriously, are doing very good job -- be it the script, the concept or the the technical aspects.
Any words of advice for the new comers in the industry.
I feel that there is nothing to advise them on. Now new platforms are coming up, there is the OTT platform, we have short films, web series and they are allavailable as social media content and can be accessed by anyone with a good internet connection. Everything today is accessible with the tip of our fingers. The new generation knows how to take advantage of these new platforms and they are delivering as well. The new generation kids are doing a very beautiful and good job. Since I have also got the opportunity of being associated with their work and I have learned many new things. The best thing of working with the new generation is that I have also learned new work. In earlier days we had a different way of doing films, now the work style is different. So, there is no full stop in learning. Those who are very serious in their work, they are doing good and are working with sincerity. They also know how to market a film. Now a days there are many opportunities at the national and international levels, and the new generation knows how to grab those opportunities. And I want them to do more good work and deliver it to the audience, and they will definitely receive appreciation from their audience. These children are very talented, they just need the scope to spread their wings.
Lastly, any words for our readers
The Sentinel is a very reputed newspaper. The paper has delivered to the readers what they want to read and I therefore think that in all these years they have built a name for themselves. In future too I expect that the paper will deliver and serve its readers with the same fervour.

Hindi film Rocketry: The Nambi Effect on Thursday won the national award for the Best Feature Film.
The film stars R Madhavan as Indian Space Research Organisation scientist Nambi Narayanan, who was falsely accused of selling information on India’s cryogenic programme to Pakistan in 1994.
The 69th National Film Awards for 2021 were on Thursday announced by filmmaker Ketan Mehta, who headed the 11-member jury.
Historical drama Sardar Udham was awarded best film in the Hindi language. Director Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Gangubai Kathiawadi won five national awards, including for Best Makeup, Best Editing and Best Screenplay.
The film also got Alia Bhatt the Best Actress award, which she jointly shared with Kriti Sanon for Mimi. Allu Arjun won the Best Actor award for his performance in the movie Pushpa.
The Kashmir Files, directed by Vivek Agnihotri, was awarded the Nargis Dutt Award for Best Feature Film on National Integration while SS Rajamouli’s global blockbuster RRR bagged the award for Best Popular Film Providing Wholesome Entertainment.
The National Film Awards will be handed out later at an in-person ceremony in Delhi. The criterion was feature and non-feature films certified by the Central Board of Film Certification between January 1, 2021, and December 31, 2021.

“I am a fun-loving person” - Nishita Goswami
Nishita Goswami obviously carries the rich heritage of art and culture from her illustrious mother Moloya Goswami, the only actor in the entire Northeastern region to have been nominated for the prestigious National Award for the Best Actress of the country. Young and energetic Nishita (‘Chitli’ to her family members and close ones), therefore, had many occasions since childhood to see the inner world of cinema and she did not let these chances slip. She went on learning more and more about acting, professionalism and thus equipped herself with the perfect attitude of a sensitive actress.
In 2002, new generation Assamese film director, Bani Das, cast her in his film Mon and it proved to be the dream debut for Nishita. Selective and cautious while choosing her roles, Nishita’s list of films is obviously not too long. However, it clearly shows that she has worked with almost all the leading directors of Assam and so her career-graph remains steady and sober. Eastern Panorama recently sat down with Nishita Goswami for a face to face interview and the following are excerpts of this interview.
E.P - How come you are in cinema? Is it because of your mother Moloya Goswami or has anything else worked as a source of inspiration?
N.G -Yes it is absolutely because of my mom and my family. They have inspired me a lot, especially my mom. I was introduced to this cultural environment by my mom when I was an infant so I think it is in my blood.
E.P - Did your first film give you a real break or did you have to wait for the real one? Was the character you played in the very first film artistically satisfactory?
N.G - I think I was lucky to get a movie like Mon (2002) as my debut film. This is a kind of film which could be a superb break for any debutant. I was really lucky. I would like to thank Bani Das for offering me such a wonderful, well made movie.
E.P - Tell us about the most satisfying character you have played so far. Do you believe that you could do full justice to the character?
N. G – It is a little difficult to say which character I love the most. Still I would say the characters ‘Bani’ from the movie Dinabandhu (2004), ‘Kadambari’ from the movie Kadambari (2004) and ‘Radha’ from Mon are the three characters which are really special to my heart. I don’t know whether I could do them justice or not but I have given my 100% to all the characters and people loved my performance.
E. P - Do you sincerely believe that directors of Assamese cinema have successfully done some creative and innovative experiment with female characterisation?
N.G - I won’t name of all the directors but yes there are quite a few directors who have done justice. They are really successful in creative experiments with female characterization. Directors like Dr Bhabendra Nath Saikia, Munin Barua, Jahnu Barua, etc. I am really a small person to talk about these great directors. I think my mothers’ movies are a good example......
E.P - How do you rate the present batch of actresses of Hindi cinema?
N.G - I think all the successful actresses of Bollywood are quite talented. All of them work really hard. They are sincere and dedicated. I don’t want to name them but almost all the leading new generation actresses in Mumbai are gaining success at the box office and are really good.
E. P -Can you cite some examples of a character or characters in Indian cinema you would love to play?
N.G - Kajol in Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Rani Mukharjee in Black, Malaya Goswami in Agnisnan and Firingoti and maybe a kind of character where I can prove myself to be a versatile actress
E.P - Tell us something about yourself. Are you a regular reader?
N.G - I am a fun-loving person and I love to spend time with my family. I love travelling and watching movies. Frankly speaking I’m not a regular reader. I read when I get the time.
E.P - How have you planned your future?
N.G - I have a lot of future plans. I hope I can fulfill them. Right now I just want to concentrate on my work.
E.P - Who is the most influential person in your life?
N.G - My father who is my real hero. He is my strength. He inspires me in every step of my life. I have learned a lot from him. If today I have a strong will power it is only because of him. Whenever I become weak he boosts up my confidence and makes me smile. I love him a lot.

New Delhi: Two months after she died tragically, Sridevi's daughters Janhvi and Khushi and husband Boney Kapoor collected the late star's Best Actress National Award at a ceremony in New Delhi's Vigyan Bhawan on Thursday. Janhvi, an aspiring actress, wore one of her mother's sarees for what designer Manish Malhotra described on social media as an "emotional and precious moment." Sridevi, who drowned in Dubai in February, was honoured with her first ever National Award posthumously - she won Best Actress for her role in 2017 movie MOM, in which she played a mother seeking revenge for her daughter's rape. Ahead of the ceremony, Janhvi Kapoor told reporters, "I want to thank the jury and the government of India for recognising the hard work my mother has done. It is very special for us as a family," reports news agency PTI.

Sridevi's Chandni co-star Vinod Khanna, who died last year, was honoured with the Dadasaheb Phalke Award - India's highest film honour - and collecting the award was his son, actor Akshaye Khanna (who co-starred with Sridevi in MOM), and wife Kavita.

Rajkummar Rao's Newton won Best Hindi Film Award while crowd favourite Baahubali: The Conclusion also won in three categories.
Sridevi's family flew into New Delhi for National Awards rehearsals a day ago. Speaking to DD News, Boney Kapoor said, "She would have been happy, very happy being here. We feel elated, proud that she's been recognised for the hard work she's put in in this film." Before the ceremony, he said "I wish she was here. She truly deserved this award. It's so unfortunate that she is not here with us today to celebrate. I am grateful to the government of India, the I&B Ministry and the jury. It is a proud moment for all of us but sadly she is not here," reports PTI.

Elphinstone College is one of the constituent colleges of Dr. Homi Bhabha State University, a state cluster university. Established in 1823, it is one of the oldest colleges in Mumbai. It played a major role in shaping and developing the educational landscape of the city. It also played a pivotal role in the inception of the University of Mumbai.
The college enjoys a sea of aotable alumnus. This includes the likes of revolutionaries such as B. R. Ambedkar, Bal Gangadhar Tilak, Virchand Gandhi, Badruddin Tyabji, Pherozeshah Mehta, Nanabhai Haridas, Kashinath Trimbak Telang, and Jamsetji Tata and teachers including Dadabhai Naoroji. It played a key role in the spread of education in Mumbai. In 2019, it ended its affiliation with the University of Mumbai.
In 2006, the college marked its sesquicentennial celebrations of inception (1856–2006). It offers undergraduate-level courses in the arts, sciences, and commerce.
History
By the 19th century, Mumbai was a prosperous center for maritime trade and commerce. In 1824, an English school was set up by the Bombay Native Education Society for Indian students.
In 1827, a resolution was passed that an institution for the promotion of education should be established under Bombay Native Education Society and be designated as "Elphinstone College" (distinct from High School). This was named after Mountstuart Elphinstone, the departing Governor of the Bombay Presidency, who was responsible for beginning higher education in the city. An exuberant amount of Rs. 2,29,636.00 was collected by public subscription to fund teaching professorships in the English language and the Arts, Science, and Literature of Europe.
The college was formally constituted in 1835. The classes commenced in 1836, at Town Hall, with the first two professors: Arthur Bedford Orlebar (natural philosophy) - i.e. science) and John Harkness (general literature - i.e. classics). In 1840, the professors' classes were amalgamated with the Society's High School to form the Elphinstone Native Education Institution. In 1845, the name was shortened to Elphinstone Institution.
Elphinstone College became a distinct institution, separated from the high school, on 1 April 1856. This year is officially considered to be the year of the establishment of Elphinstone College.
The college was affiliated with the University of Mumbai in 1860.
In 1871, Elphinstone College got its building in Byculla. James Trubshawe, an architect who flourished in the early part of the 19th century, designed the structure, which was built by the engineer, John Adams. This older Elphinstone College building stands opposite the Jijamata Udyaan in Byculla, Mumbai. It is now a hospital, and a second Elphinstone College across the Jehangir Art Gallery was built a decade later.
Role in inception of University Of Mumbai & Other colleges
The Elphinstone College played a pivotal role in the inception of The University Of Mumbai which was established in 1857, the same year as India's first revolt. The university's initial classes were held at the college's Byculla building and were subsequently moved to the present Fort campus of the same.
The college also played a major role in formalizing legal education in India. The esteemed "Perry Professorship" (A chair of Jurisprudence at the University Of Mumbai) was set up at Elphinstone in 1855. One of the best-known lawyers of the time, Barrister R. T. Reid (LL. B. Bar-at-Law) was appointed the first Perry Professor of Jurisprudence and the Government Law School was establishment. This institution later came to be known as the Government Law College, Mumbai. It is the oldest law school in Asia.
In 1948, It was suggested that Elphinstone College's premises were to be used (during morning hours) for initial classes of Jai Hind College. The proposal was accepted and admission started for the Arts Faculty in June of the same year. A formal inauguration took place in September 1948 at the Elphinstone College Library Hall.
The Sir J. J. School of Arts was founded in 1857 and was instituted to offer drawing classes. Its Initial classes were also held at Elphinstone.
Academics
The Elphinstone College consists of two academic entities: Junior and Degree colleges.
Degree or "senior" college was affiliated to University of Mumbai till 2019. And, it was later made a constituent college of Dr. Homi Bhabha State University. This was a newly formed state owned cluster university. It was the first of its kind. After mere months, another state cluster university was formed in Mumbai called the HSNC University, which included institutes like KC College and HR College.
The Junior college of the institution is affiliated to the Maharashtra State Board (or commonly known as HSC Board). It provides education at a higher secondary or high school level.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kiran Kumar (Kashmiri: किरण कुमार (Devanagari), کرن کمار (Nastaleeq)) is a Mumbai-based Kashmiri Indian actor. He has worked in many Hindi and Gujarati films. He has been the hero in most of the Gujarati movies.[citation needed] He is the son of veteran character actor Jeevan.
Kiran Dhar (stage name- Kiran Kumar) is a descendant of a Kashmir royal family.He is the son of legendary character actor Jeevan. He is married to a Gujarati actress Sushma Verma.[citation needed] They have two children: Vikas Kumar who was working with David Dhawan as an Assistant Director and Srishti, who is a Mass Media graduate and runs a jewellery and clothing label with her mother called "Sush & Shish".
Kiran is a Kashmiri by birth and has ties with the Royal Family by virtue of being the grand son of the Vazir-e-Vazarat of Gilgit.[1] He is a devout believer of Sai baba and has a production house named after the saint- "Sainama Visions"
Recently he has been honoured with the life membership of International Film And Television Club of Asian Academy Of Film & Television
He is a member of CINTAA and is a part of the core committee. He was responsible, along with others, in organising the "Star CINTAA superstars ka jalwa" - a televised event that brought the entire hindi film and television industry together to perform and raise funds for CINTAA.
[edit]Career
He attended Daly College, a boarding school in Indore. He enrolled at R. D. National College in Bandra, Mumbai, and later joined the Film and Television Institute of India (FTTI) in Pune.[1] As a young boy it was the film industry which drew him because of his father's association with it.[citation needed] Kumar starred in Do Boond Pani in 1971, and went on to play the lead in several movies. Due to bad decisions to choose roles his career saw a slump with the onset of movies like jungle mein mangal and other such oddball films. During this phase Kumar started to work in Gujarati movies, where he quickly reached cult status getting him the "Bachhan of Gujarati cinema" title. Rakesh Roshan's "Khudgarz" got him back to Hindi cinema, and then on negative roles in films like "Tezaab" and "Khuda Gawah" won him accolades as an antihero.
Sunil Mehta's Prem Kishan was his first television serial. He's established himself as a reining star in the television industry with serials like Zindagi, Ghutan, Sahil, Manzil, Katha Sagar, Aur Phir ek Din, Papa, miilee, chhajje chajje ka pyar and more.
He was in the process of starting a production house called "Sainama Visions" for which the pilot episode of a show called "Aashiana" was also shot.

Bhaskar Hazarika and Lima Das, the minds behind the anticipated Assamese indie Aamis, discuss their three-year journey

In Bhaskar Hazarika’s Aamis, carnal repression morphs into a rigorous lust for meat-eating. Set in Guwahati, the Assamese-language film follows the romance between a middle-aged doctor and a PhD student. Nirmali (Lima Das) is a pediatrician and a mother who runs a clinic by herself. One Sunday, she meets Sumon (Arghadeep Baruah), a young scholar researching about the meat-eating habits in the North East. He gets her hooked on new delicacies of meat — from rabbit to catfish to earthworms — and a strange bond grows. Soon, there’s no turning back for Nirmali, as her culinary escapades slip into a darker terrain.
“I had the idea of doing a Romeo and Juliet where the lovers don’t touch each other,” Bhaskar says, “That’s what started it off. Slowly, we started grafting other issues into the film about morality, sin and punishment — and how what is novel for you might not be novel for others.” Aamis is Bhaskar’s second independent feature after Kothanodi, which won a National Film Award in 2015. Completed two years back, Aamis premiered at the 2019 Tribeca Film Festival and was screened at the MAMI Mumbai Film Festival. It’s set for release now, thanks to Anurag Kashyap who’s come on board to present the film on November 22. “Anurag saw the film in January, before we went to Tribeca,” Bhaskar shares, “He really liked it and had offered to help. When the time of release came about, as always, nobody had the money to do it. So we had the idea of asking Anurag to present it. With his name attached to the project, we got the funding to release it.”
Aamis is opening in six cities outside of Assam: Delhi, Mumbai, Pune, Shillong, Calcutta and Bangalore. Audiences elsewhere can catch it on the moviestaints.com, an online rental portal for independent film. Despite the tricky subject, the film was cleared with a U/A certificate by the CBFC. “The pre-release reactions have been enthusiastic so far,” Bhaskar says. “There will be people who will not like it. You cannot please everyone. The good thing is that the young people don’t have a problem with Aamis. In Assam, there’s a palpable excitement for a film that can shake them up.” Like his previous work, Bhaskar draws on a range of international influences. Besides the body-horror classics of David Cronenberg, he cites Kaneto Shindo’s Onibaba (1964) and Nagisa Oshima’s In The Realm of the Senses (1974) as inspirations. “Most of my horror influences comes from literature, the works of Edgar Allan Poe and Stephen King. In India, we had Marathi litterateur Narayan Dharap whose works influenced Tumbbad (2018). Similarly, Assamese literature is rich with horror and fantastical tales. Many of them were featured in the entertainment magazine Bismoi, which I grew up reading.”
Lima Das, who makes her debut in Aamis, is a real-life doctor and Sattriya dancer. Based in Guwahati, she has known Bhaskar for years and had approached the filmmaker to make a documentary on the classical dance form. This was in 2015, when she first saw Kothanodi. “I was enamored by the visuals and wanted to work with him,” Lima says, “We kept in touch and after two years, he gave me the script of Aamis. Initially, I was a little taken aback. I discussed the idea with my husband and family. They were supportive and encouraged me to take up the part.”
To prepare for the film, Lima and Arghadeep attended workshops conducted by Seema Biswas. The genre-bending screenplay meant the actors had to sift through a range of emotions and tonalities. “I took it one shot at a time. It was important for me to stay in character, especially during the darker portions of the film. I told my friends to call me Nirmali. Because I’m also a doctor and a mother, I could identify with her mindspace.”
For her performance, Lima won the Best Actor (Female) Award at the Singapore South Asian International Film Festival. The debutante says she is looking forward to the local reception of Aamis. “It’s definitely not everyone’s cup of tea or slice of meat. Having said that, people who come with an open mind will be entertained. I hope they get the essence of the film…”

The National Film Award for Best Actress (officially known as the Rajat Kamal Award for the Best Actress) is an honour presented annually at the National Film Awards of India since 1968 to an actress for the best performance in a leading role within the Indian film industry.[1][2] The National Film Awards were called the "State Awards for Films" when established in 1954. The State Awards instituted the "Best Actress" category in 1968 as the "Urvashi Award for the Best Actress";[1][3][4] in 1975, the "Urvashi Award" was renamed as the "Rajat Kamal Award for the Best Actress". Throughout the years, accounting for ties and repeat winners, the Government of India has presented a total of 56 Best Actress awards to 45 different actresses.
Until 1974, winners of the National Film Award received a figurine and certificate; since 1975, they have been awarded with a "Rajat Kamal" (silver lotus), certificate and a cash prize that amounted to ₹50,000 (US$600) in 2012.[3] Although the Indian film industry produces films in more than 20 languages and dialects,[5] the actresses whose performances have won awards have worked in ten major languages: Hindi (22 awards), Bengali (7 awards), Tamil (7 awards), Malayalam (6 awards), Telugu (4 awards), Kannada (3 awards), English (3 awards), Marathi (2 awards), Assamese (one award) and Urdu (one award).
The first recipient was Nargis Dutt from Bollywood, who was honoured at the 15th National Film Awards (1967) for her performance in Raat Aur Din.[6] The actress who won the most Rajat Kamal awards is Shabana Azmi with five wins,[7] followed by Sharada and Kangana Ranaut with three wins. As of 2021, four actresses—Smita Patil, Archana, Shobana, and Tabu who have won the award two times. Sharada, Archana and Shobana are the only three actresses to get the award for performing in two different languages. Sharada was bestowed with the awards for her performances in two Malayalam films: Thulabharam and Swayamvaram in 1968 and 1972 respectively, and in 1978 for the Telugu film Nimajjanam. Archana was first honoured in 1987 for the Tamil film Veedu and was awarded for the second time in 1988 for the Telugu film Daasi. Shobana received her first award for the Malayalam film Manichitrathazhu in 1993, and her second for the English film Mitr, My Friend in 2001. As of 2020, the late Monisha Unni remains the youngest recipient of the honour; she was awarded for the Malayalam film Nakhakshathangal in 1986 when she was 16.[8][9] Indrani Haldar and Rituparna Sengupta are the only two actresses to be honoured for the same film—Dahan. Kangana Ranaut is the only actress to be honoured for her performance in two different films (Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi and Panga) in the same year. Sridevi is the only actress who was honoured posthumously for her performance in Mom (2017).[10] The most recent recipient are Nithya Menen and Manasi Parekh, who were honoured at the 70th National Film Awards for their performances in the 2022 Tamil film Thiruchitrambalam and the 2022 Gujarati film Kutch Express respectively.

By Chandan Sarmah
Noted film exhibitor, distributor and producer Shankar Lall Goenka, under the banner of his newly-formed film production house ‘Shiven Arts’, is going to produce an Assamese feature film based on Sahitya Akademi Award winning novel ‘Ashirbadar Rong’ by eminent writer Arun Sarma. The film will be directed by nationally-acclaimed filmmaker Jahnu Barua. Smt. Maina Goenka and Siddharth Goenka will be the co-producers of the film.
The auspicious ‘muhurat’ ceremony of the film was held on November 30 at the Kelvin Cinema Compound, Guwahati, in presence of the film unit and a host of cine-cultural dignitaries of Assam. The film will undergo shooting scheduled from the first week of January, 2013.
The title of the film, and the cast and the credit are in the process of finalization. This is for the second time that Jahnu Barua will make a film on the basis of a published literary work. The first one was ‘Halodhiya Choraye Bao Dhan Khay’, based on a much-acclaimed novel of the same name by distinguished writer-journalist and the editor of Assamese daily, ‘Amar Asom’, Homen Borgohain. The film, ‘Halodhiya Choraye Bao Dhan Khay’ (‘The Catastrophe’), fetched Jahnu Barua the National Award for Best Film in 1987, and it won four awards at the Locarno International Film Festival including the award for Best Acting, Best Direction and Best Film.
A graduate in film direction from the ‘Film and Television Institute of India’, Pune, Jahnu Barua made his debut with ‘Aparoopa’ in 1982. Since then, he has so far directed 11 feature films which includes two Hindi films, ‘Apeksha’ 1982, (starring Faruque Sheikh and Suhasini Muley) and ‘Maine Gandhi Ko Nahin Mara’ 2008, (starring Anupam Kher, Urmila Matondkar, Rajit Kapoor, etc). The film, ‘Maine Gandhi Ko Nahin Mara’, earned rave reviews and critical acclamation, it also won a couple of international awards. Barua has so far won eight National Award which include Best Director for his much-sensitive film ‘Sagoroloi Bohu Door’ (‘Its a Long Way to the Sea’, 1996). Retrospective of Barua’s films was held in the Fukuoka Film Festival, Japan, and in a couple of other festivals abroad.
A graduate in film direction from the ‘Film and Television Institute of India’, Pune, Jahnu Barua made his debut with ‘Aparoopa’ in 1982.
Barua is known among the serious and meaningful film fraternity as a sensitive director who deals with the contemporary socio-political issues of Assam and the North-East. His maturity in handling acting artists deserves special mentioning because the two artists playing the role of the protagonists of two of his films won national and international awards. While Indra Bania won the Best Acting Artist Award in Locarno International Film Festival in 1987 for his superior performance in Barua’s ‘Halodhiya Choraye Bao Dhan Khay’, actress Moloya Goswami won the National Award for Best Actress for her outstanding performance in Barua’s fifth feature film ‘Firingoti’ (‘The Spark’) in 1992.
Jahnu Barua recently hit the headlines with his latest Assamese feature film, ‘Baandhon’, released last November. This is for the first time Barua has dealt with the issue of global terrorism and the film earned the distinction of being the Inaugural Film of the Indian Panorama section at the 42nd International Film Festival of India held at Panaji (Goa) in last November. The film was screened thrice at the festival on demand of the festival delegates and critics.
It may be mentioned here that one of the senior-most film distributors of the entire North-Eastern Region, Shankar Lall Goenka, under his established firm ‘Goenka Enterprise’, has released a number of Assamese films, such as, ‘Joymoti’, ‘Aai Kot Naai’, ‘Jibon Bator Logori’, ‘Basundhara’, ‘Azan Fakir Saheb’, ‘Ramdhenu’, ‘Rowd’, ‘Rishang’, ‘Borolar Ghor’, etc.
In 1981, he ventured into film production arena and along with R.A. Jalan of Kolkata, they jointly produced Assamese feature film ‘Manasi’ (Dir: Bolai Sen, Music Director: Ramen Barua, Starring: Biju Phukan, Bidya Rao). The Odiya version of this film was also released with the title ‘Agnipariksha’.
Shri Goenka formed a trust named ‘Jeewan Ram Mungi Devi Goenka Memorial Public Charitable Trust’ in memory of his late parents. This JRMDGMPC Trust has been presenting ‘Lifetime Achievement Award for Cultural Excellence’ to the unsung heroes in the cultural field of the North-Eastern Region from 2007. To add to this, the ‘JRMD Memorial Lecture’, also being organised by the JRMDGMPC Trust, is an annual event which takes place at the ‘Lifetime Achievement Award’ presentation function.
Three other significant activities of the Trust were publishing the books ‘Jyotiprasad Agarwalla’ (a biography of the producer-director of the first Assamese film ‘Joymoti’ released in 1935) and ‘Heritage Shillong’ (an illustrated description of the historic buildings and monuments of Shillong), and producing an album titled ‘A Tribute to Dr.Bhupen Hazarika’ containing 14 immortal haunting melodies of Dr.Hazarika. The album has been preserved in a couple of sound archives in USA and Europe. Both the books were written by noted historian and writer Prof (Late) Dipankar Banerjee. The Trust has also taken up a scheme to publish one book every year in memory of Prof (Late) Dipankar Banerjee from 2013.
