The "sea to sea" grant of Plymouth Council for New England is shown in green. The location of the Plymouth Colony settlement is demarcated as "Pl". "Q" and "R" refer to Quebec and Port Royal, which were contemporaneous French settlements.
The Council for New England was a 17th-century English joint stock company to which King James I awarded a royal charter, with the purpose of expanding his realm over parts of North America by establishing colonial settlements.[1]
The Council was established in November of 1620, and was disbanded (although with no apparent changes in land titles) in 1635. It provided for the establishment of the Plymouth Colony, the Province of New Hampshire, the Massachusetts Bay Colony, the New Haven Colony, and the Province of Maine.
Sir Ferdinand Gorges was a major promoter of English colonization of New England, and was a key figure in establishment and operations of the Council.
