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. The boundaries were further refined over the years, leading to the establishment of New Jersey as a distinct colony by the late 17th century.

Was New York divided into two colonies?

Yes, New York was originally divided into two separate colonies: New York and New Jersey. The area was originally part of the Dutch colony of New Netherland before being captured by the English in 1664.
