Florida
Great Britain took control of what is now the US State of Florida in 1763. This was a deal whereby it was in exchange for Havana Cuba to Spain after the Seven Years War. Britain divided Florida into East and West Florida. As part of end of the American Revolution, Britain evacuated Florida, thus ending "British Florida" in a manner of speaking.
Florida was not one of the original British colonies; it was established later. The original British colonies included Georgia, Pennsylvania, and Maryland, which were founded in the 17th and early 18th centuries. Florida was initially colonized by Spain and became a British colony in the 18th century before returning to Spanish control.
