A proprietary colony is one that was owned and governed by a chartered partnership or company that had secured a royal grant. The owners established and operated the colony and appointed its officials. This was a form of indirect rule by the country involved.

Other colonies were "crown colonies" where the officials were appointed by the monarch (king) and his government as their direct representatives.
