In 1664, after the English conquered New Netherland, King Charles II granted the former Dutch territories as a proprietary colony to his brother James, Duke of York, who later became King James II. The Duke divided the colony into New York and New Jersey, reserving New York for himself as the "Duke's province" and giving New Jersey to his friends John, Lord Berkeley, and Sir George Carteret.
