National Society Daughters of the American Colonists In the mid-1600's, Dutch settler Peter Stuyvesant established a community on the Delaware River that he named New Amstel. When the English took control of all New Netherland, the town's name was changed to that by which it is known today: New Castle. The New Amstel Chapter was organized on January 28, 1978, by Organizaing Regent Joann Jones. Most members are from the local area; however, some members are from other areas, as well. Local residency is not a requirement for membership in any chapter. This site maintained by Webmaster. |
