The NJ Turnpike will actually lead you directly into Delaware with the Delaware Memorial Bridge. I used to live in NJ near Philly; the region is called the Delaware Valley. I have family in Philly, Jersey and Delaware, which is common in the region. Wlimington is right across the bridge. New Castle, Wilmington and New Castle County in general are associated with Philly, the accent is similar and they get Philadelphia TV and radio stations. You'll find far more Eagles fans than Ravens fans in the north part of Delaware.

The "Delmarva" region really does not begin until the Chesapeake Bay Canal. In Delaware they call it the "Slower Lower", endearingly, in a way, it is not part of the Northeastern urban sprawl like Wilmington. People from crowded Wilmington suburbs have moved into Middletown en masse over the past 15 years or so. This is the "Delmarva" as depicted in SU and is associated with eastern Maryland and eastern shore Virginia. Lewes and Rehoboth Beach are the shore towns there, and you can take a ferry to Cape May, NJ from there. It is a very popular vacation destination for people in Delaware, as is Ocean City, MD, although Philly people generally prefer Wildwood or Atlantic City in NJ.

And in Jersey, we have a saying... "we don't like you either!"
