When the colony of Delaware was separated from Pennsylvania in 1681, part of the border was defined as a 12-mile circle around New Castle, including waters of the Delaware River up to the low water mark. Not only was this a nightmare for surveyors, it resulted in the strange border of Salem County, and a bit of Gloucester. That border stands to this day.
There is a funny little bit of land in near Salem County that is attached to New Jersey, but belongs to Delaware. All rivers change their courses over time, and the land there built up since the borders were drawn in the 1700s, so technically it belongs to Delaware. A consequence of this is that New Jersey law enforcement has no jurisdiction there, and Delaware doesn't patrol it, so it is basically no-man's land. The sensible thing would be for Delaware to simply cede this useless appendage to New Jersey, but neither side seems interested in doing that. New Jersey has enough swamps already.
