New Jersey
No sooner had James received New Netherland from his brother than he hastened to give some of the best portions of it to two faithful friends, Sir George Carteret and Lord Berkeley.
Their territory extended from New York Harbor to the Delaware River and was named New Jersey in honor of Carteret's defense on the island of Jersey against the Puritans.
Colonists at once began coming to the new province and settled at Elizabethtown.

Later New Jersey
soon new jersey was divided into two parts east jersey and west jersey west jersey belonged to lord berkeley and he sold it to the quakers not very many years later the quakers also bought east jersey the new jersey colonists were always getting into disputes with one another so they asked queen anne to take charge of the government of the province this she did by telling the governor of new york to govern new jersey also
This was not what the Jersey people had expected, but they had their own legislature.
In time, they also secured a governor all to themselves and became a royal province entirely separate from New York.
Pennsylvania and New York protected the Jersey people from the French and the Indians and provided markets for the products of Jersey farms.
The colonists were industrious and their soil was fertile.
They were very religious and paid great attention to education.
New Jersey became very prosperous and so continued until the Revolution.

The Founding of Carolina The planting of New Jersey was not the only colonial venture of Carteret and Berkeley.
With Lord Chancellor Clarendon and other noblemen, they obtained from Charles land in southern Virginia, extending southward into Spanish Florida.
This great territory was named Carolina.
