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.

New York and New Jersey formally separated in 1664 when the English captured New Amsterdam (now New York City) from the Dutch and divided the territory. Initially, the area was part of the New Netherland colony, but after the English takeover, New Jersey was created as a separate colony in 1664.
