Sir Fernando Gorges was a key figure in the early history of the New Hampshire colony. He was granted a royal charter in 1622, which allowed him to establish the region as a proprietary colony. Gorges promoted settlement and encouraged trade in the area, significantly influencing the colony's development. His efforts laid the groundwork for future governance and expansion in New Hampshire.
Sir Fernando Gorges' land grant, known as the Province of Maine, was never fully settled due to various factors, including conflicts with Native American tribes, competing colonial interests, and internal disputes among settlers. Additionally, the area faced challenges related to governance and resources, which hindered its development. Ultimately, the land remained largely unsettled and fragmented, with portions claimed by other colonial entities.
My sources say it was to Sir Fernando Gorges and John Mason. In 1629, Mason took the land between the Piscataqua and Merrimack Rivers, and named it New Hampshire; Gorges took the Northern part and named it Maine. *George Calvert
