Wilmington is situated at the junction of the Christiana
and Brandywine Rivers and is the County Seat of New
Castle County, Delaware. In 1638 the first Swedish Expedi-
tion to the new world landed at that point on the Christiana
called "The Rocks". Here they established Fort Christiana;
it was taken from them by the Dutch in 1655, 'who were,
in return superseded by the English in 1664. Under Wm.
Penn as Governor it acquired the Quaker characteristics
which to this day it has never lost.
