The colony of Delaware began as part of the Dutch territory of New Netherland in the early 17th century, with the establishment of trading posts along the Delaware River. In 1638, Swedish settlers founded the colony of New Sweden, which included parts of present-day Delaware. The area changed hands when the Dutch seized it in 1655, and eventually, in 1664, the English captured it, integrating Delaware into their colonies. Delaware became a separate colony in 1704, while remaining under the governance of Pennsylvania until the American Revolution.
