The Duke of the York, the future King James II, gave the land between the Hudson and Delaware rivers to two loyal followers, Sir George Carteret and Lord John Berkeley. The territory was called Jersey and divided into two parts: East and West Jersey. A large number of diverse settlers settled there. In 1702, the two parts were combined and New Jersey was made a royal colony.
