feb 19, 1674 - New Jersey partitioned
Description:
During the Third-Anglo Dutch War, the colonies of New York and New Jersey were captured by the Dutch (as they were former constituents of New Netherland). However, when the Dutch Republic lost the war, they agreed to give the captured North American colonies back to England. New Jersey was then partitioned into two distinct colonies, East and West Jersey. They were divided by the Keith Line (shown in red) and the Coxe-Barclay Line (shown in orange). The two would later be reunified in 1702.Added to timeline:
