The first colony founded was Virginia in 1624. It became the first of the Britain's 13 colonies and became a state in 1788, twelve years after the independence of the US.

Of the original thirteen colonies that would eventually become states, the first colony established was New Netherland by the Dutch in 1614. It came under British control 1665 and became the colony of New York.

The first state to join the Union was Delaware. It became a state in 1787, but was founded by Sweden in 1638, taken over by the Dutch in 1655, and taken over by the British in 1664.
