Minguannan

Minguannan was a Lenape settlement in the White Clay Creek country, west of the Delaware River. Early colonists also recorded it as Opasiskunk. In 1683 the Lenape chief of the district sold a large tract of land in the area to William Penn; the chief is thought to have lived in the village. Minguannan remained inhabited into the early eighteenth century as colonial farms spread through the creek valley.

The later city of Wilmington lies here.
