West Jersey
West Jersey On 4 July 1664, anticipating the conquest of New Netherland, Charles II granted modern N.J. to John Lord Berkeley and Sir George Carteret. Berkeley sold his proprietary rights in 1674 to the proprietors of West Jersey, who formed a colony on the Delaware River. The proprietors founded the first English settlement at Salem in November 1675, and they stimulated the emigration of 2,000 Quakers by 1682. Factional divisions within the proprietors’ ranks frustrated the formation of a workable government, and the Crown assumed control of West Jersey on 15 April 1702.
