7 oct. 1691 - Province of Massachusetts Bay founded

Description:

Massachusetts Bay was chartered as an English colonial province (shown in white and yellow), rather than being controlled by a company. It included the former colonies of Massachusetts Bay and Plymouth, as well as Maine, New Brunswick, Martha's Vineyard, Nantucket, and Nova Scotia. It removed certain rights the colonies had enjoyed through self-determination, with elected Bostonian officials being replaced by royally appointed Governor Sir William Phips.
