In 1554, after having received possession of the New Netherlands Colony, the Duke of York made a gift of lands to his friends, Sir George Carteret and Lord Berkeley. This land became New Jersey. The pair recruited settlers and promised them both freedom of religion as well as a representative government. The Colony flourished. Quakers eventually purchased both of their charters and created East and West Jersey which were joined in1702.
