The Province of New Jersey was one of
the Middle Colonies of Colonial America and became
the U.S. state of New Jersey in 1776. The province had originally
been settled by Europeans as part of New Netherlands but came
under English rule after the surrender of Fort Amsterdam in
1664, becoming a proprietary colony. The English renamed the province
after the island of Jersey in the English Channel. The Dutch
Republic reasserted control for a brief period in 1673–1674. After that it
consisted of two political divisions, East Jersey and West
Jersey, until they were united as a royal colony in 1702. The
original boundaries of the province were slightly larger than the current
state, extending into a part of the present state of New York, until the
border was finalized in 1773.
