Early History
Prior to 1650, the area was inhabited by the Lenape Native Americans. The tribe was part of the Woodland culture that lived in birch bark homes and longhouses, common to the indigenous people. They farmed the land and grew crops that consisted of maize, beans, and winter squash.
In 1653, a group from New Sweden became the first European settlers in the area. The Dutch took control not too long after in 1655, followed by the English in 1664. In 1681 the region helped to make up the land granted to William Penn. Penn founded the colony of Pennsylvania in 1682 and designated the different areas into Chester County. The section of Darby Township, with which Primos is located, was part of Chester County. It would not become part of Delaware County until 1789.
