Was Delaware one of the thirteen colonies why?
Delaware was on of the thirteen colonies. In my 9th grade Social Studies we have been learning about the thirteen colonies. Delaware was founded in 1638. Founded: 1638 by Peter Minuit and others Major Industry: Agriculture (fishing), Manufacturing (lumbering) Major Cities: Wilmington Colony Named for: named for the Delaware tribe and for an early governor of colonial Virginia, Lord de la Warr Became a State: December 7, 1787 Although Delaware was the first state to ratify the Constitution, it was not the first of the 13 colonies to be settled. That honor went to Virginia. Delaware, however, was settled in 1638 by a group of settlers led by Peter Minuit, who might be better known as the man who bought Manhattan Island from Native Americans for 60 guilders ($24) worth of trinkets, knives, and assorted beads. The Dutch colony of New Netherland was established in 1624. Two years later, Minuit arrived, as governor-general of the colony. The main port of this colony was New Amsterdam, which later became New York. Five years later, Minuit returned to Europe. In 1638, Minuit returned to America, leading a group of settlers to put down roots in the Delaware Bay. The first settlement was named Christina, after the Swedish child Queen. Sadly, Minuit didn't live to see his colony grow. He died at sea the very same year. But the Delaware colony, called New Sweden for a time because it was settled at the direction of the Swedish government, thrived. New Sweden proved to be a vital link between the northern colonies, in Massachusetts and New York, and the middle colonies, in Maryland and Virginia. In 1655, the Swedish colony became Dutch, as Dutch settlers from New Netherland, under the command of Peter Stuyvesant, took over the Delaware colony. It was not the last time other people assumed leadership of the former New Sweden. In 1681, William Penn arrived from England, leading a group of religious separatists known as Quakers to a colony that would later be named Pennsylvania. The very next year, Penn assumed control of three counties in the Delaware colony, having been given permission to do so by the Duke of York (the second most powerful person in Britain at the time). Even Maryland got into the act: Lord Baltimore wanted a piece of the Delaware pie and disputed the boundaries for most of the rest of his life. New Sweden became the largest city in the Delaware colony and was named Willington (after local merchant Thomas Willing) in 1731. Eight years later, it became Wilmington.
