DUTCH FIRST SETTLERS.
1t Is generally supposed that the
Swedes who lauded on "The Rocks"
in 1888 were the first foreigners to
settle on Delaware soil, but such
is not the case. Judge Houston 10
his contribution to the Delaware
Historical Society on the boundaries
Of the State, expresses the belief
that Dutch traders settled on the
"Horn KILL" now Lewes creek, as
early as 1922.

those under him to get revenge on
the Dutch for having been dis
missed from their service. After
remaining for some time on what
they termed Paradise now known to
be Mispillion Point, the colonists
re-embarked and proceeded up the,
river to the mouth of the little, river
known as Christiana.
They ascended this stream for
some distance and landed upon its
northern bank on firm and rocky
foundation, which they afterwards
named, The Rocks They gave
the little river Its name, Chrlstiaua,

The scene was beautiful one aud
