Founded By: Peter Minuit and the New Sweden Company. Motivation for Founding: Peter Minuit was Dutch and formed New Sweden as part of New Netherland. When Charles II, King of England gave his brother James, the Duke of York, New Netherland, James demanded and received its surrender. He renamed New Sweden to Delaware. Significant Events: 1  Delaware was a part of Pennsylvania until 1703. 2  The colony was governed by Pennsylvania until the Revolutionary War.
Adopted on July 24, 1913, the Delaware state flag has a background of colonial blue surrounding a diamond of buff color in which the coat of arms of the state is placed. Below the diamond are the words December 7, 1787, indicating the day on which Delaware was the first state to ratify the United States constitution. Because of this action, Delaware became the first state in the Union, and is, therefore, accorded the first position in such national events as presidential inaugurations.
