New Sweden was the name of the small area in North America near the mouth of the

Shuylkill river, which mouths into the river Delaware. It was held by the settlers from 1638 to 1655. Around 600 people lived there during that time.

The largest settlement in New Sweden was Fort Christina, today called Wilmington.
