New Jersey was settled by the Dutch in the early 1620s, with the establishment of the first European settlement, Bergen, in 1660. Delaware was settled slightly earlier by the Swedish in 1638, with the founding of Fort Christina (now Wilmington), before coming under Dutch and then English control. Both colonies became part of the English territories in the mid-17th century.
