The first stamp in the series, honoring Delaware, was issued on July 4, 1987. Prior to this issue, Delaware hadn’t been honored on very many stamps. The Delaware stamp’s design pays tribute to the state’s history of farm, shipbuilding, and coastal commerce. It also pictures a Revolutionary-era militiaman, ready to defend American ideals. The stamp was issued at Dover’s Legislative Hall. All of the stamps in the series were issued in the order the states ratified the Constitution, though not always on the exact date of ratification.
