| Delmarva is comprised of portions of Virginia and Maryland, and all of Delaware. It served as a major center of European immigration into North America. In colonial times, the Peninsula became home to residents whose origin included both Africa and Northern Europe.<ref>http://nabbhistory.salisbury.edu/dho/themes/index.html</ref> The peninsula is bounded on the East Coast by the Atlantic Ocean, Delaware River and Delaware Bay and the West Coast by the Chesapeake Bay.
