Wilmington, Delaware was founded in 1638 by Swedish settlers who named the settlement Fort Christina in honor of Sweden’s queen. Over the years, the town grew in importance as a key port for the region’s agricultural products and was later renamed Wilmington in honor of Spencer Compton, the Earl of Wilmington and a prominent British politician. During the American Revolution, Wilmington played a significant role as a supply center for the Continental Army. The city experienced rapid industrialization in the 19th century, with the development of factories and mills along the Brandywine River. Wilmington continued to thrive in the 20th century, becoming a hub for chemical and pharmaceutical companies. Today, it is known for its vibrant culture, historic district, and beautiful parks along the riverfront. Despite economic challenges in recent years, Wilmington remains a bustling city with a rich history and diverse community.
