The first Europeans were Giovanni da Verrazano in 1524. The New Jersey region came under control of the Swedes and Dutch. In 1655 the Dutch won control of the area, but in 1664 the English seized the Dutch colony of New Netherlands and it became one of the 13 colonies. During the revolution there was a great deal of action and its delegates signed the Articles of Confederation in 1779. Princeton acted as the nations capital for four months in 1783.
