Massachusetts was founded in 1620 when the Pilgrims, a group of English Puritans, established the Plymouth Colony. This was followed by the founding of the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1630, led by John Winthrop and other Puritans seeking religious freedom.

The Plymouth colonists, who arrived on the Mayflower in 1620, established the Plymouth Colony in present-day Massachusetts.

The colony became one of the earliest successful English settlements in North America.
