The thirteen colonies in North America that became the first 13 states of the United States, were colonies of the English Crown.
Following the landing of John Cabot in North America in 1497, the English monarchy was determined to colonize the New World. In 1607 they founded Jamestown (in modern Virginia), which marked the establishment of the first colony. In 1732, the colony of Georgia (named after King George II) became the last of the 13 colonies to be founded.
