New Jersey became a separate colony in the 1660s when the Dutch surrendered their claim to the area to the English. Initially part of the larger New York colony, it was divided in 1664 and granted to two of the King's loyal supporters, Sir George Carteret and Lord John Berkeley. They established the colony of New Jersey, promoting religious freedom and land grants to attract settlers. Over time, New Jersey developed its own identity and governance, officially becoming a distinct colony.
