The Swedish colony in Delaware was established by Peter Minuit in 1638–the same man who colonized New Netherlands for the Dutch, buying Manhattan Island from the Indians for $24 in trinkets. In 1638 Minuit purchased land in Delaware from the Iroquois for a Swedish colony and established Fort Christina, near present day Wilmington. It was the first permanent settlement of Europeans in Delaware.
