The colony founded to profit from the fur trade and fishing was New France, established by the French in the early 17th century. Its economy heavily relied on the fur trade, particularly with beaver pelts, and fishing, especially cod, which were both vital for trade with Europe. The strategic location along the St. Lawrence River facilitated access to these resources, fostering economic growth and relationships with Indigenous peoples.
In 1638, the Dutch colonist Peter Minuet and the New Sweden Company founded the colony of Delaware. It was one of the Middle colonies that was founded for trade and profit.
The fishing village that became part of the New Hampshire Colony was founded by John Mason in 1623. He was granted land by the Council for New England, which led to the establishment of the settlement known as Strawberry Banke, now present-day Portsmouth. This settlement was primarily focused on fishing and trade, contributing to the early economy of the colony.

New Amsterdam was founded for the Dutch West India Company for the sole purpose of profit (through trade). The colony of New Amsterdam was founded by the Dutch West India Company, hoping to find as much profit as the Dutch East India Company did in the spice trade. The only trade item developed by the colony was furs from the Native Americans. The company blundered in, developing the colony for settlers so that population growth was very slow, resulting in little production of agricultural products or manufactured goods that could be shipped back to Holland. It was almost a mercy to have the place stolen away by the British after several decades of mismanagement.
