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 some 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, especially as many large American corporations
maintain nominal offices in that city to register their Delaware corporation.
