The Delaware Colony was initially settled by the Dutch in the early 17th century, but it was later claimed by the English. In the mid-1600s, Swedish settlers established the New Sweden colony along the Delaware River. Over time, English settlers from nearby colonies, particularly Pennsylvania, also moved into Delaware, leading to a diverse population in the region. Ultimately, Delaware became the first state to ratify the U.S. Constitution in 1787.
