History Of Wilmington
Wilmington was colonized by settlers from Sweden in March 1638. They established Fort Christina and the fort served as the headquarters for the colony of New Sweden. In 1739, a lot of people from England lived in the region and the King of England changed the name from Willington to Wilmington. Wilmington officially became a city in 1832. The greatest growth in the city occurred during the Civil War. Wilmington supplied goods and materials including ships, railroad cars, gunpowder, shoes, and other war-related goods. By 1868, Wilmington was producing more iron ships than the rest of the country combined and it rated first in the production of gunpowder.
