The Separatists arrived in North America before the Puritans. The Separatists, who sought to break away from the Church of England, established the Plymouth Colony in 1620. The Puritans, who aimed to reform the Church from within, arrived later, primarily settling in the Massachusetts Bay Colony starting in 1630. Thus, the Separatists were the first to establish a colony in the New World.

The first Massachusetts colony, known as the Plymouth Colony, was settled by the Pilgrims in 1620. They were a group of English separatists seeking religious freedom and left England aboard the Mayflower. After landing at Plymouth Rock, they established the colony, which became a refuge for those seeking to practice their faith without persecution. The colony's success was aided by cooperation with local Native American tribes, particularly the Wampanoag, who helped them adapt to the new environment.
Algonquian Indians were the first settlers in the region of Massachusetts. The first English explorer in Massachusetts was Bartholomew Gosnold, who visited the area in 1602. In 1620, the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth. In 1629, King Charles I of Great Britain granted a charter to the Puritans to establish an English colony in Massachusetts Bay.
