Wilmington is situated at the junction of the Christina
and Brandywine Rivers and is the County Seat of New
Castle County, Delaware. In 1638 the first Swedish Ex-
pedition to the new world landed at the point on the
Christina called "The Rocks." Here they established Fort
Christina, 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who were, in return superseded by the English in 1664.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 char-
acteristics which to this day it has never lost.
