In 1638, the first European colony to settle in the Delaware Valley was established, where the Delaware Colony would eventually be. What country's settlers were they?

As described on Wikipedia: "New Sweden was a Swedish colony along the lower reaches of the Delaware River in America from 1638 to 1655, established during the Thirty Years' War when Sweden was a great military power." In 1664, the British gained control of the Delaware Colony. Old Swedes Church in Wilmington is one of the oldest houses of worship in America still in use.
