The Puritans settled mainly in the Massachusetts Bay Colony.
In the early 17th century, thousands of English Puritans settled in North America, mainly in New England. One Separatist group, the Pilgrims, established the Plymouth Colony in 1620. Non-separating Puritans played leading roles in establishing the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1629 and the Connecticut Colony in 1636. The Colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations was established by settlers expelled from the Massachusetts Bay Colony because of their unorthodox religious opinions. Puritans were also active in the New Hampshire before it became a crown colony in 1691.
