Water west of the Divide flows to the Chesapeake Bay while water East of the Divide flows to the Delaware River and Bay. Similarly, since early travel was primarily by water, those who settled west of the Divide came primarily from what is now Maryland while those who settled east of the Divide, esp. in New Castle and Kent counties, came primarily from Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
