Description: Brief description of the conflict.
The first recorded European exploration of the Delaware Bay was by Henry Hudson in 1609, under commission from the Dutch East India Company to seek a northwest passage to China and Japan. The following year the area was visited by an English captain in search of food for the settlement of Jamestown, who named the region in honor of the governor of the Virginia colony, the Baron DeLaWarr. The Dutch were the first Europeans to exploit the rich resources of the Delaware Valley and the first to settle in the area. They quickly set up a fur-trading network with the Indians along the Delaware River, and built outposts, such as Fort Nassau (1623), near present-day Gloucester Point, New Jersey, to support the trade network. In 1630, they also established a short-lived whaling colony named Zwaanendael, near present-day Lewes, Delaware.
