Delaware has an interesting setup because the capital—Dover—basically shares typical capital offices with Wilmington. It made sense for Dover to be the capital way back when because it’s in the middle of the state, but the norther third of the state industrialized and boomed far earlier. Now, the the governor, attorney general, 3/5 supreme court justices, and many other state employees are based in Wilmington, while the legislature continues to meet in Dover (as does the Supreme Court for oral arguments only).

They’ll never move it because Dover is only about an hour’s drive from the furthest parts of the tiny state, but having the executive offices outside the capital seems unusual (maybe it’s not).
