Sven Gunnarsson (d. 1678) was a founder of the New Sweden colony, owner of land which today is most of present-day Queen Village in Philadelphia, and a progenitor of the Du Pont family in modern-day Delaware.
He volunteered to defend Fort Christina against the Dutch invasion, but after the colony was surrendered, removed with his family north.
They settled on 1,125 acres (4.55 km2) at a place called Wicaco, a former Indian settlement, which would become what is modern-day Queen Village in Philadelphia.
He had five children: Anders, Olle, Gertrud, Sven, and a daughter of unknown name.
His son Sven Svensson would go on to serve in the government at Upland Court and the Pennsylvania Provincial Assembly, while the son of Anders, Andrew Swanson, would become a progenitor of the Du Pont family in modern-day Delaware.
