The colony of Delaware was initially established as a proprietary colony.

To determine the type of colony, you can use various online resources, such as history websites or academic articles. Since you mentioned that you found a helpful page before accidentally exiting out of it, you can try to retrieve the page using your browser's history. Here's how you can access your browsing history and find the page:

1. Open your browser (e.g., Chrome, Firefox, Safari, etc.) that you were using when you found the helpful page.
2. Look for the History menu. In Chrome, you can click on the three dots in the top-right corner, then select "History." In Firefox, you can click on the menu with three horizontal lines, then select "Library" and "History."
3. Once you access your browsing history, you can search for the page you were viewing by typing keywords related to Delaware colony or specific terms you remember from the page.
4. Scan through the search results and identify the page you were looking for. If you don't remember the exact title, try to look for the most relevant ones.

Remember that proprietary colonies were granted to individuals or groups known as proprietors who had significant powers and control over the colony. Delaware was first settled by the Dutch, then later came under the control of the Swedish and eventually became a proprietary colony under the ownership of the Duke of York before it was transferred to William Penn and became part of Pennsylvania.

If you find it challenging to retrieve the specific webpage you were referring to, you can also explore other reliable sources, such as history textbooks, encyclopedias, or reputable history websites, to confirm that Delaware was indeed a proprietary colony.
