Delaware was founded by Peter Minuit, a Dutch colonial governor, who established the first European settlement in the area in 1631. The region was initially part of the New Netherland colony before coming under English control in the 1660s. Delaware is often referred to as the "First State" because it was the first to ratify the U.S. Constitution in 1787.
