No, although you may be asking about whether he "founded" (originated, became its first leader) Delaware, rather than whether he found (located, discovered) it. Penn is best known for founding Pennsylvania. But Penn was involved with Delaware's history. He did not discover it (Henry Hudson and several Dutch explorers are generally credited with that); he also did not found it-- as mentioned, the first rulers of Delaware were the Dutch. But Penn was later involved in a 1682 dispute with Lord Baltimore over who would control and govern Delaware.
