The indigenous Nanticoke people lived here in the Brandywine Valley for centuries before the first brave settlers sailed across the ocean onboard the Kalmar Nyckel to form New Sweden, a proud place that would (after a name change in honor of Baron De La Warr) become the first state to ratify the Constitution of the United States of America.
There is indeed a lot of history in these parts - a history that still lives on the cobblestone streets of historic Old New Castle, on the decks of the faithfully replicated Kalmar Nyckel and on the ramparts of Fort Delaware on Pea Patch Island.
