History of Pennsylvania

The history of Pennsylvania is traceable to the first modern indigenous peoples that occupied the area of present-day Pennsylvania. These included the Lenape, Susquehannocks, Haudenosaunee, Erie, Massawomeck, Shawnee and other Native American tribes. In the early 17th century the area on the east side of the Delaware River was claimed by both the Dutch and the Swedes.
