The patroon system of land ownership system was created by the Dutch, and resembled feudal land ownership. The patroon was provided a land grant by the government, after he has agreed to get at least 50 families to settle there within four years, and farm his land. In exchange for the land, the settlers pay the patroon a fee. Patroons had self-contained villages with their own church and village.
