Pennsylvania was settled as 1630 by Dutch pioneers who came up the Delaware Bay and River and settled at Gloucester point.
Penn, in his efforts to settle the estate of Bylling, became so well acquainted with the region of Pennsylvania and colonial settlements, as to be afterwards induced to purchase that for himself, by receiving it as an equivalent for claims due his father, Admiral Penn.
The founding of Pennsylvania, about 40,000 square miles, was confirmed to William Penn under the Great Seal on the 5th of January, 1681.
LancasterCounty was named after the city of Lancaster in the county of Lancashire in England, the native home of John Wright, one of the early settlers.
