==History== | |||
In 1638, the first European permanent settlement was founded in Delaware by Swedish immigrants. The colony was named New Sweden, and was conquered by the Dutch in 1655, and the English in 1664. Until Delaware's provincial assembly was established in 1703, it was under the control of Pennsylvania. Maryland claimed portions of Delaware from 1682-1736.<ref>Christina K.
