The Mid-Atlantic colonies, which included New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Delaware, primarily originated from European settlers, particularly the Dutch and English in the early 17th century. The Dutch established New Amsterdam, which later became New York, while English settlers founded Pennsylvania as a place for religious freedom under William Penn. These colonies were characterized by diverse populations and a mix of agricultural and commercial economies, influenced by their geographic location and the cultural backgrounds of their settlers.
