Discover New Castle
New Castle was founded by the Dutch West India Company in 1651 under Peter Stuyvesant, on the site of a Native village called Tomakonck, "place of the beaver," as Fort Casimir. The colony of New Sweden seized it on Trinity Sunday in 1654 and renamed it Fort Trinity, but the Dutch conquered all of New Sweden the next year and called the town Nieuw-Amstel, though Swedish influence remained strong. Dutch authorities laid out a grid of streets and a central green that survives today. The English seized New Netherland in 1664, renamed the town New Castle and made it the capital of their Delaware colony. The Dutch retook it in 1673, but it was returned to England in 1674.
More about New Castle
In 1680 the Duke of York conveyed New Castle to William Penn, who first set foot in America there on October 27, 1682. Lord Baltimore contested the transfer, a boundary dispute not settled until the Mason-Dixon survey of 1763 to 1767. Before Philadelphia was established, New Castle was a center of government. Its Swedish, Dutch and English residents grew uneasy with Quaker rule, and Delaware won its own legislature in 1702 and formally separated from Pennsylvania in 1704, with New Castle again its seat of government. In February 1777 John McKinly was elected the first president of Delaware, a title later changed to governor, and when British forces under William Howe threatened New Castle that year, the government moved to Dover in May 1777, and McKinly was captured by the British.
