 The city of Dover is the capital and second largest city in the U.S. state of Delaware. It is also the county seat of Kent County, and is located on the St. Jones River in the Delaware River coastal plain.
Delaware's largest employer is also Dover's — the state government. A large portion, but not all, of the state's bureaucracy is located in and around Dover. However, like other American states, Delaware's capital is not its largest city. Consequently, Wilmington, in the northern part of the state and its largest city, has many state offices and employees one would normally expect to find in the state capital, including the headquarters of the Office of the Attorney General. |
