In the 1908 Dover Pageant 43 daughters of Dover were paraded with Mother Dover. Most of the Dovers are in America.

The T-shirts will also be available at the Annual Dover Film. There are 20 showings between 2nd March and 8th March 2025. The word Dover also comes from the old Scandinavian meaning a ravine, gap, gorge or a crevasse between cliffs. Which could equally apply to Dover England as the Vikings – who came to Kent after the Romans – could have altered the Roman Dubris to Dover. It is in the US where there are the most Dovers and many derive their name from Dover, England due to émigrés who set up homes in places where there were high cliffs. Scandinavian émigrés have also influenced the names of some of the Dovers in the US for the same reasons with those where the original émigrés came from Dovre, Norway, spell it the Norwegian way.

Dover was founded as the court town for newly established Kent County in 1683 by William Penn, the proprietor of the territory generally known as the “Lower Counties on the Delaware.” Later, in 1717, the city was officially laid out by a special commission of the Delaware General Assembly. The capital of the state of Delaware was moved here from New Castle in 1777 because of its central location and relative safety from British raiders on the Delaware River. Because of an act passed in October 1779, the assembly elected to meet at any place in the state they saw fit, meeting successively in Wilmington, Lewes, Dover, New Castle, and Lewes again, until it finally settled down permanently in Dover in October 1781.[4] The city’s central square, known as The Green, was the location of many rallies, troop reviews, and other patriotic events. To this day, The Green remains the heart of Dover’s historic district and is the location of the Delaware Supreme Court and the Kent County Courthouse.

Dover was most famously the home of Caesar Rodney, the popular wartime leader of Delaware during the American Revolution. He is known to have been buried outside Dover, but the precise location of his grave is unknown. A cenotaph in his honor is erected in the cemetery of the Christ Episcopal Church[5] near The Green in Dover.
