Best Answer

The first settlers who colonized the area of America located along the lower Delaware River originated from the European country of Sweden, although a small proportion of settlers in this area also came from Finland. Initially at odds with Dutch settlers in the area, they eventually became subject to the English, who forcibly took control from the Dutch in the late 1600s.

Dutch traders were the first settlers to settle in Delaware. They settled in 1631 at Zwaanendaael, which is close to present day Lewes.
