Sister city designations often make for great bragging rights, but not much more. This week the designation actually held meaning. Wilmington, Delaware Mayor Dennis Williams hosted a delegation from sister city Kalmar, Sweden, including Mayor Johan Persson.Williams said a delegation from Wilmington will be visiting Kalmar in June. Wilmington and Kalmar have had a sister city partnership for 50 years now.
The events are part of the 375th anniversary of the Swede's settlement of the New Sweden Colony, Delaware's first European settlement.
