William Penn received a land grant for the area that would become Delaware in 1681. However, he did not purchase it outright; rather, he was granted the land as part of his charter for Pennsylvania. Delaware was originally part of Pennsylvania until it became a separate colony in 1704, although Penn maintained some control until the late 17th century.
William Penn purchased Delaware from the Native Americans, instead of just claiming it, to ensure that his colony would remain peaceful. Penn funded the colony to promote commerce and government.
William Penn founded Pennsylvania and aided in founding the Delaware colony. Peter Minuit also cofounded Delaware.
Delaware was founded in 1764 by an English sailor named William Penn. :(:):(:)
