When did native Americans settle where chile is
Prior to the arrival of European settlers in North America , Native American settlements appear to have been limited to the area north of the Indian River , north of what is now Bethany Beach ; even after Europeans pushed the Native Americans — mostly Nanticokes — out of their coastal settlements in the mid-17th century , the Native Americans moved west to settle around Oak Orchard , Delaware , and in the Millsboro , Delaware , area rather than south toward what would become Bethany Beach .
