SC-34: Originally installed in 1932.
On North side of town was Zwaanendael, first Dutch settlement on Delaware soil. Founded 1631 on the creek, named by settlers Hoorn Kil in honor of the town of Hoorn in Holland. The colony was destroyed by Indians the same year. DeVries, a director of the company which had sent out the colony, came over the next year with aid but returned to Holland 1633.
