Wilmington has a strong Swedish influence in Delaware today. The city was the first Swedish settlement in the United States and was originally the site of Fort Christina. It is also known as being home to the first doctor in Delaware, Dr. Timothy Stidham. Interestingly, the colony was governed by Swedish law until 1653.
