In 1775, the British claimed authority over the red and pink areas on this map and Spain ruled the orange. The red area is the area of the 13 colonies open to settlement after the Proclamation of 1763 .
The Thirteen Colonies were British colonies in North America founded between 1607 (Virginia ), and 1733 (Georgia ). Although Great Britain held several other colonies in North America and the West Indies , the colonies referred to as the "thirteen" are those that rebelled against British rule in 1775 (August 22 ) and proclaimed their independence on July 4, 1776 . They subsequently constituted the first thirteen states of the United States of America .
The Colonies
Contemporaneous documents usually listed the colonies of British North America in geographical order, from north to south.
Other divisions prior to 1730
North American colonies 1763-76
Dominion of New England
Created by King James II with the consolidation of Maine , New Hampshire , Massachusetts Bay Colony , Plymouth Colony , Rhode Island , Connecticut , New York , East Jersey , and West Jersey into a single larger colony in 1685. The experiment was discontinued with the Glorious Revolution of 1688-89, and the nine former colonies re-established their separate identities in 1689.
Province of Maine
Settled in 1622. (An earlier attempt to settle the Popham Colony on Sagadahoc Island, Maine in 1607 was abandoned after only one year.) Massachusetts Bay colony encroached into Maine during the English Civil War , but, with the Restoration , autonomy was returned to Maine in 1664. Maine was officially merged into Massachusetts Bay Colony with the issuance of the Massachusetts Bay charter of 1691.
Plymouth Colony
Settled in 1620 by the Pilgrims . Plymouth was absorbed by Massachusetts Bay Colony with the issuance of the Massachusetts Bay charter of 1691.
New Haven
Settled in late 1637. New Haven was absorbed by Connecticut Colony with the issuance of the Connecticut Charter in 1662, partly as royal punishment by King Charles II for harboring the regicide judges who sentenced King Charles I to death.
East and West Jersey
New Jersey was divided into two separate colonies in 1674. The Jerseys were reunited in 1702.
Province of Carolina
Founded in 1663. Carolina colony was divided into North Carolina and South Carolina in 1712. (Both colonies became royal colonies in 1729.)

Notes
The present State of Vermont was disputed between the colonies of New York and New Hampshire. From 1777 to 1791, it existed as the de facto independent Vermont Republic .
