The term "proprietary settlements" refers to colonies in America that were granted to individuals or groups by the British crown, allowing them to govern and manage the land. Notable examples include Pennsylvania, founded by William Penn in 1681, and Maryland, established by Lord Baltimore in 1632. These colonies often had more autonomy than royal colonies, as they were governed by the proprietary owners according to their own rules and regulations.
