Delaware County, Where Pennsylvania Began
Discovered by the Dutch, settled by the Swedes. Granted to William Penn by King Charles II of England, Delaware County is the site of Penn's first landing in Pennsylvania. Here the first assembly met and adopted the frame of government honored in history. Delaware County is the site of the first Supreme Court and the first Capital of Pennsylvania.
