The Swedish colonization of the Americas consisted of a 17th Century settlement on the Delaware River in Delaware , New Jersey , Pennsylvania , and Maryland , and possessions in the Caribbean during the 18th and 19th Century . Until 1809 Finland was the eastern third of Sweden , and therefore a great deal of the Swedish settlers had Finnish as their mother tongue and/or came from present-day Finland. Finns left to America especially from outlying regions of Savo and Kainuu , where Slash And Burn agriculture was a way of life for many, and people were used to live as pioneers in wilderness. People from Savo also brought their cottage type to America, where it became typical cottage of pioneers. NORTH AMERICA
