In 1616, a Dutch captain named Hendrickson sailed up the Delaware River. He was very pleased with the land in Pennsylvania. In 1623, a Captain Mey built a fort four miles below what would later become Philadelphia. In 1630, more Dutch people settled in Pennsylvania.

Of course, before any of these people came to Pennsylvania, there were Native Americans living on the land--the Delawares and the Unami tribes among them.
