The Swedes laid out the town at the site of modern-day Wilmington. They contracted with the <a href="/wiki/Lenape" title="Lenape">Lenape</a> Native Americans for land of Old Cape Henlopen north to Sankikans (Trenton Falls), and inland as far as they desired. However, a dispute ensued between the Swedes and the Dutch, who asserted a prior claim to that land. </p><p>In 1640, <a href="/wiki/New_Sweden" title="New Sweden">New Sweden</a> was founded a few miles south of <a href="/wiki/Christina_River" title="Christina River">Christina</a>. In 1644, Queen Christina appointed Lt. Col. <a href="/wiki/Johan_Printz" class="mw-redirect" title="Johan Printz">Johan Printz</a> as Governor of <a href="/wiki/New_Sweden" title="New Sweden">New Sweden</a>. She directed boundaries to be set and to reach <a href="/wiki/Cape_Henlopen" title="Cape Henlopen">Cape Henlopen</a> north along the west side of Godyn's Bay (<a href="/wiki/Delaware_Bay" title="Delaware Bay">Delaware Bay</a>), up the South River (<a href="/wiki/Delaware_River" title="Delaware River">Delaware River</a>), past Minquas Kill (<a href="/wiki/Christina_River" title="Christina River">Christina River</a>), to Sankikans (Trenton Falls). Printz settled on <a href="/wiki/Tinicum_Township,_Delaware_County,_Pennsylvania" title="Tinicum Township, Delaware County, Pennsylvania">Tinicum Island</a>, as the seat of government and capital of the <a href="/wiki/New_Sweden" title="New Sweden">New Sweden</a> colony. </p><p><a href="/wiki/Peter_Stuyvesant" title="Peter Stuyvesant">Peter Stuyvesant</a>, Governor of <a href="/wiki/New_Netherland" title="New Netherland">New Netherland</a>, sailed up the <a href="/wiki/Delaware_River" title="Delaware River">South River</a> in 1651. He purchased land from the Lenape that covered Minquas Kill to Bompties Hook (<a href="/wiki/Bombay_Hook" class="mw-redirect" title="Bombay Hook">Bombay Hook</a>); the Lenape had sold part of the property to the Swedes in 1638. Stuyvesant began to build <a href="/wiki/Fort_Casimir" title="Fort Casimir">Fort Casimir</a> (contemporary <a href="/wiki/New_Castle,_Delaware" title="New Castle, Delaware">New Castle</a>). </p><p>In 1654, <a href="/wiki/Johan_Risingh" title="Johan Risingh">Johan Risingh</a>, commissary and councilor to the governor Lt. Col. Printz, officially assumed Printz's duties and began to expel all Dutch from New Sweden. <a href="/wiki/Fort_Casimir" title="Fort Casimir">Fort Casimir</a> surrendered and was renamed Fort Trinity in 1654. The Swedes had complete possession of the west side of the Delaware River. On June 21, 1654, the Lenape met with the Swedes to reaffirm the purchase. </p><p>Having learned of the fall of Fort Casimir, the Dutch sent Stuyvesant to drive the Swedes from both sides of the river. They allowed only Dutch colonists to settle in the area and on August 31, 1655, the territory was converted back to Fort Casimir. Consequently, Fort Christina fell on September 15 to the Dutch, was renamed <a href="/wiki/Fort_Christina" title="Fort Christina">Fort Altena</a> and <a href="/wiki/New_Netherland" title="New Netherland">New Netherland</a> ruled once again. John Paul Jacquet was immediately appointed governor, making <a href="/wiki/New_Amstel" class="mw-redirect" title="New Amstel">New Amstel</a> the capital of the Dutch-controlled colony. </p><p>The <a href="/wiki/Dutch_West_India_Company" title="Dutch West India Company">Dutch West India Company</a> conveyed land from the south side of Christina Kill to <a href="/wiki/Bombay_Hook_National_Wildlife_Refuge" title="Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge">Bombay Hook</a>, and as far west as Minquas land. This land was known as the Colony of The city. On December 22, 1663, the Dutch transferred property rights to the territory along the Delaware River to England. </p><p>In 1664, the <a href="/wiki/James_II_of_England" title="James II of England">duke of York, James</a>, was granted this land by <a href="/wiki/Charles_II_of_England" title="Charles II of England">King Charles II</a>. One of the first acts by the Duke was to order removal of all Dutch from <a href="/wiki/New_Amsterdam" title="New Amsterdam">New Amsterdam</a>; he renamed <a href="/wiki/New_Amstel" class="mw-redirect" title="New Amstel">New Amstel</a> as New Castle. In 1672, the town of New Castle was incorporated and English law ordered. However, in 1673, the Dutch attacked the territory, reclaiming it for their own. </p><p>On September 12, 1673, the Dutch established <a href="/wiki/New_Amstel" class="mw-redirect" title="New Amstel">New Amstel</a> in present-day <a href="/wiki/Delaware" title="Delaware">Delaware</a>, fairly coterminous with today's New Castle County. The establishment was not stable, and it was transferred to the British under the <a href="/wiki/Treaty_of_Westminster_(1674)" title="Treaty of Westminster (1674)">Treaty of Westminster</a> on February 9, 1674. On November 6, 1674, New Amstel was made dependent on New York Colony, and was renamed New Castle on November 11, 1674. </p><p>On September 22, 1676, New Castle County was formally placed under the Duke of York's laws. It gained land from <a href="/wiki/Upland_County" class="mw-redirect" title="Upland County">Upland County</a> on November 12, 1678. </p><p>On June 21, 1680, <a href="/wiki/St._Jones_County" class="mw-redirect" title="St. Jones County">St. Jones County</a> was carved from New Castle County. It is known today as <a href="/wiki/Kent_County,_Delaware" title="Kent County, Delaware">Kent County, Delaware</a>. On August 24, 1682, New Castle County, along with the rest of the surrounding land, was transferred from the Colony of New York to the possession of <a href="/wiki/William_Penn" title="William Penn">William Penn</a>, who established the Colony of Delaware.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In September 1673, a Dutch council established a court at New Castle with the boundaries defined as north of Steen Kill (present-day Stoney Creek) and south to Bomties Hook (renamed Bombay Hook). In 1681, a <a href="/wiki/The_Twelve-Mile_Circle" class="mw-redirect" title="The Twelve-Mile Circle">12-mile arc</a> was drawn to specifically delineate the northern border of New Castle County as it currently exists.
