The Pilgrims, who were a group of Separatist Puritans, intended to land in Virginia but were blown off course during their journey across the Atlantic. Instead, they arrived in what is now Massachusetts in 1620, where they established Plymouth Colony. While they had hoped to settle within the bounds of the Virginia Company's territory, their unexpected landing led to the creation of a new colony and the development of their own governance, as outlined in the Mayflower Compact.
