The New England Colonies of British America included Connecticut Colony, the Colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, Massachusetts Bay Colony, Plymouth Colony, and the Province of New Hampshire, as well as a few smaller short-lived colonies. The New England colonies were part of the Thirteen Colonies and eventually became five of the six states in New England, with Plymouth Colony absorbed into Massachusetts and Maine separating from it.[1]

In 1616, Captain John Smith authored A Description of New England, which first applied the term "New England"[2] to the coastal lands from Long Island Sound in the south to Newfoundland in the north.[3]
