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.
