1609 The middle colonies were founded when the Dutch merchants sent ships across the Atlantic and up the Hudson River in search of furs from the Indians. 1614 They founded a permanent settlement at fort Nassau (later called Fort Orange). 1625 They built New Amsterdam at the tip of Manhattan Island. It served as the colony’s largest town, major seaport, and government headquarters. 1638 Traders founded New Sweden on the lower Delaware River. The settlers there built Fort Christina at the site of present day Wilmington. 1664 An English expedition forced Governor Stuyvesant to surrender his colony, and the English renamed it New York after the Duke of York. New Amsterdam became New York City and Fort Orange became Albany. The Duke of York granted the land between the Hudson and Delaware Rivers as New Jersey 1608 King Charles II granted William Penn the land west of the Delaware River which became Pennsylvania. 1682 William Penn arrived with 23 ships containing 2,000 colonists. He established Philadelphia as his capital.

Pennsylvania Charles II granted William Penn a land to pay off his debt (proprietor colony) to his father, and with that land Penn made the “holy experiment”  Difference from the rest of the governments from other 3 places. Representative Government- male settlers make laws for colony. RG= Made up of a Governor , provincial council , and a general assembly . Due to Penn’s constitution “Frame of Government.”  Guarantee for limited government power, and equality. Delaware Founded by William Penn, whom allowed his belief of religious and political freedom here as well as Pennsylvania New York Peter Stuyvesant didn’t allow the people’s involvement in government. The settlers were not allowed to believe in different religions, only to the Dutch Reformed church. The Duke of York received New York as a propriety colony from Governor Stuyvesant’s surrender then converted it a royal colony . He allowed setters, the right to keep their land and the freedom of religion, but he was strict about the people governing themselves.
