1630s 1631 Commemoration Delaware Lewes Settler Settlers Vries
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1940, showcases the historic DeVries Memorial and State Street in Lewes, Delaware, USA. The image transports us back in time, as we gaze upon the ornate DeVries Memorial, a testament to one of the first Dutch settlers, Pieter Cornelis DeVries, who arrived in Lewes in 1631. The memorial, with its intricate design and grandeur, stands proudly amidst the picturesque landscape, framed by the lush, leafy trees that line State Street. The Dutch influence is evident in the architecture of the buildings that can be seen in the background, their historic facades a reminder of the rich history that Lewes holds. State Street, the central artery of the town, bustles with activity, as cars and people move along its length, creating a sense of vibrant energy. The DeVries Memorial, with its stately presence, serves as a commemoration to the early settlers who played a significant role in shaping the history of Delaware and the United States. The 1630s, when DeVries arrived, marked the beginning of European settlement in the Delmarva Peninsula. This photograph, therefore, offers a unique glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the historical significance of this charming town and its Dutch heritage.
