Many of the settlers in the colony of New Sweden founded on the banks of the Delaware River in 1638, were Finns, who had come both from Finland and from Central Sweden. The settlers were the first whites to build their homes in Delaware and Pennsylvania; they brought with them their cultural traditions, and their burn-beating economy, and lived in harmony with the Indians. Their descendants had an important part to play in the Declearation of Independence by the 13 Colonies in 1776. This text which has been written by Olavi Koivukangas, was published in conjunction with the Exhibition being launched in honor of the 350th anniversary of Finnish migration to America. Near Fine.
