Delaware
County
was created on September 26, 1789, from part of
Chester
County
and named
for the
Delaware River
. Its county seat, since 1851, is Media. Chester City, prior to 1851, was the
county seat of both Delaware County and, before that, of
Chester
County
.
“
But it was soon found that the most interesting facts connected with the early history of the County
were scattered through the voluminous manuscript records of the Society of Friends ; the records of our
early Courts, and other records of the County, now^ in the offices at West Chester ; the records in the
Surveyor-General's office at Harrisburg, and in the several offices of the city of Philadelphia. These have
been carefully examined so far as they relate to early times ; and although their examination required the
expenditure of much time and labor, the reward has been so ample, that it may now be safely said, that
no history of the County would have been worthy of the name which
did not embrace the numerous
local facts derived from these sources.
It will also be seen that the unpublished records at
Albany
, N. Y., and those at New Castle, in the State of Delaware,
have been examined with the view of ascertaining as many local facts as possible connected with the
settlements on the Delaware, prior to the establishment of
the government of William Penn.
These examinations, though not so prolific of new facts as that of our own records, it will be
observed, have not been by any means fruitless.”
