First Sentence

Lewes has a long and fascinating history-the site of a Dutch trading post in 1620 and a Swedish settlement in 1632; granted to Maryland in 1634, then bought from the Duke of York by William Penn; made the county seat by Penn in 1658 and remained so until 1791; besieged by the British in 1813; incorporated as a town in 1818; the site of breakwaters and aids to navigation; the largest seafood landing port in America in 1953, yet in a few years was out of contention when the menhaden industry collapsed; a beach resort; at the mouth of a canal on an inland waterway; and, above all, a great place to call home.
