1 ene 1635 año - Colony of Saybrook founded

Descripción:

The colony of Saybrook (shown in green), named after Lords Saye and Brooke, MPs who controlled the land's grants, was founded by soon-to-be Saybrook Governor John Winthrop the Younger in order to dissuade the Dutch from claiming the same land. Its residents were strong supporters of Oliver Cromwell, and it was even believed that he would leave England to live there. However, he never did, and the colony suffered hardships because of the Pequot War. In 1644, the colony was merged into Connecticut.
