The Swedish colonists settled in Delaware because Delaware was one of the first areas encountered by the Swedes. In competition with the Dutch settlers, the Swedish settlers made compromises with local Indian tribes and settled in the area.

Most of the early settlers in Delaware were originally from Sweden and the Netherlands. The Swedish established the first permanent European settlement in the area, known as New Sweden, in the early 17th century. Following Swedish control, the Dutch also settled in the region before it eventually came under English rule. This diverse mix of settlers contributed to Delaware's multicultural heritage.
The earliest settlers of what would eventually become Wilmington (after the first nations people), would the the Dutch, and then shortly after the Swedish. Many of the names of the area surrounding Wilmington are Swedish in their origin.
The Swedish settlers founded the colony of New Sweden in 1655, which is present-day Delaware. This settlement was part of their efforts to expand trade and agriculture along the Delaware River. Although New Sweden was eventually taken over by the Dutch in 1655, its cultural and historical influences remain evident in the region today.
In 1638, Swedish settlers established a fortified settlement called Fort Christina on the land that is now Wilmington, Delaware. This settlement served as the capital of the New Sweden colony and played a significant role in early colonial history. Fort Christina was strategically located along the Christina River, facilitating trade and interaction with Native American tribes and European settlers.
Swedish settlers in early North America introduced the style of log cabin construction that we typically associate with the term "log cabin" in which the logs were said horizontally and stacked rather than placed vertically in the ground.
