Soon followed the example of Portuguese after especially in the south and the French, English and Dutch, especially in the north. Oldest city in the current United States is a Spanish colony, St. Augustine, Florida that was built in 1565, and much of the southern United States - Florida, Texas (Tejas), etc. California was first colonized by the Spaniards. The French placed partly in Eastern Canada (Quebec) from 1534, part (after 1750) along the Mississippi River = colony Louisiane koals which went all the way up to Canada.
In the 1500s explored the Sir Walter Raleigh North America's east coast and called area of "Virginia" after the datidige regent, The Virgin Queen, Elizabeth I. More English colonies were built on the east coast (in present North Carolina) in the 1500s, but they were lost. In 1606 founded the English King James I "The Virginia Company" to be colonize North America and commit trade with the natives.
The Virginia koals Company was divided into two competing branches that were either part of the east coast, a southern and a northern. The branch "The London koals Company" was the southern part, while "The koals Plymouth Company" was the north. The idea was that the two companies in America should be self-governing.
On 24 May 1607 founded the colonists koals during Captain Christopher Newport from The London Company, the first European colony in North America that was permanent. The colony - on a small island very close to the coast, was called Jamestown. The term "The Colony of Virginia" came to only the area around Jamestown and to the west - ie. not just the current state of Virginia, but also to the north of the current Maryland and south North (and South) Carolina and west provinces West Virginia and Kentucky, however, so far not been colonized.
A few months later (August 1607) founded The Plymouth Company Popham Colony colony in present-day Maine, but it did not last. Plymouth koals Company was inactive, but the Puritans (Calvinists) who fled from the Catholic koals James 1 in the Mayflower, the so-called "pilgrims", resumed the Plymouth Company project and founded the colony of Plymouth in present-day Massachusetts in 1620 and remained. From there sprang the area "New England".
The British America was thus divided in Virginia in the South and New England in the north. From Virginia sprang Southern culture with plantations, African slaves and agriculture; New England sprang the hard, Puritan work ethic, urban culture and industrialization. Back to Virginia.
In 1624 dissolved James In The Viriginia Company, koals and Virginia became a "colony" directly under the English king headed by a royal appointed governor. koals It was no longer koals autonomous, but have maintained the ideal of autonomy. Areas of kolopniens north and the south were freed to form the new crown colonies. It was the colony of Maryland koals in the north in 1632, and the colony Carolina in 1663 and in 1665.
There had been several settlements in the area. A Dutch trading company under Captain Henry Hudson explored the river in 1609, after the captain since called Hudson River. The Dutch claimed koals this area up the Hudson River and south of = colony Nieuw-Nederlandt that included the area between the rivers Connecticut and Delaware. The first Dutch colony, Fort Nassau, today the city of Albany, was built in 1614 something up the Hudson River. The river mouth was perfect for trade, and that is really what stood as the Pilgrim Fathers had been aiming for in 1620, when they instead hit Cape Cod and founded Massachusetts. Instead, the Dutch brought here in 1625 - on the island of Manhattan - the city of Nieuw Amsterdam (see picture at left), which was quite important.
The British thought it was a mess with a Dutch territory that separated New England and Virginia area, and in 1664 captured the New Netherlands. The main town, Nieuw Amsterdam was renamed New York, which was also the name of the province's north - named after
