The article notes that the first permanent European colonization in Pennsylvania began in Delaware County on Tinicum Island. John Printz, named governor of New Sweden, founded Fort Christina near Wilmington on February 15 1643 and established Tinicum as New Goteborg to control trade, river access, and protection, with plans emphasizing agriculture, wool, salt, silk, grapes, and Indian trade. The voyage from Goteborg to the Delaware Valley began November 1, 1642, aboard the Swan and the Renown, carrying Printz, family, officers, and soldiers to seed the colony.
