Founded By: Peter Minuit and the New Sweden Company. Motivation for Founding: Peter Minuit was Dutch and formed New Sweden as part of New Netherland. When Charles II, King of England gave his brother James, the Duke of York, New Netherland, James demanded and received its surrender. He renamed New Sweden to Delaware. Significant Events: 1  Delaware was a part of Pennsylvania until 1703. 2  The colony was governed by Pennsylvania until the Revolutionary War.
Because it was the first to ratify, Delaware became known as the first state and enjoys the highest level of seniority at ceremonial events. From the 1720s to the 1770s the construction of many fine homes took place throughout Dover and the surrounding countryside, many of which still survive today.
