Swedes' Landing
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Swedes' Landing is the warehouse road found along the Minquas Kill in Wilmington, Delaware that is closest to the Delaware River. This was the site where the initial Swedish invasion of the New Netherlands colony took place, and marks the spot where the short-lived New Sweden colony began.
