High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Zwaanendael or Swaanendael was a Dutch colonial settlement in Delaware. It was built in 1631. The name is archaic Dutch spelling for "swan valley". The site of the settlement later became the town of Lewes, Delaware.Two directors of the Amsterdam chamber of the Dutch West India Company, Samuel Blommaert and Samuel Godyn, bargained with the natives for a tract of land reaching from Cape Henlopen to the mouth of Delaware River. This was in 1629, three years before the charter of Maryland, and is the oldest deed for land in Delaware. Its water-front nearly coincides with the coast of Kent and Sussex Counties. The purchase was ratified in 1630 by Peter Minuit and his council at Fort Amsterdam.
