The Quakers, Pennsylvania Dutch, and Scotch-Irish were the first to settle Pennsylvania.
There are several immigrant groups that settled in Pennsylvania. These include the Dutch, Swedes, Fins, Quakers, Germans, as well as the Mennonites.

The Dutch. They were the earliest settlers and founded present-day New York.
Quakers were the pioneers in the anti-slavery movement, first speaking out against slavery in 1688. Four Dutch Quakers sent a petition to the monthly meeting of Quakers, calling for the abolishment of slavery. No action was taken on this petition due to the Quaker's commercial interests.
In 1943, Dutch Dietz played in 21 games for the Philadelphia Quakers, batting in all of them. He had 6 at bats, getting 1 hits, for a .167 batting average, with 0 runs batted in. He was walked 1 times. He struck out 2 times. He hit only singles.
English (Quakers), Pennsylvania German/Dutch, and Scots-Irish. There were also some African American slaves.
The Middle colonies were New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Delaware. The different groups of people that settled in these colonies were the Dutch, German, and British. Native American also lived in these areas. The religious groups included the Protestant, Quakers, Anglicans, and French Huguenots, and some Catholics.
== == The Pennsylvania Dutch settlers came from the Southwestern part of what is now Germany and Northern Switzerland. During the 17th century they fled Europe because they (being Anabaptist) were persecuted.
