Colonial Delaware was originally established as a Dutch trading post in the early 17th century, primarily for fur trading and commerce with Native American tribes. It later became part of the Swedish colony of New Sweden, which aimed to exploit the region's resources and trade routes. In 1664, the English seized control, and Delaware ultimately became a part of Pennsylvania, serving as an important agricultural and trade hub. The region's strategic location along the Delaware River further enhanced its economic significance.
