The 13 colonies were a group of British settlements along the eastern coast of what is now the United States, established between 1607 and 1733. They declared independence from Britain in 1776, forming the foundation of the United States.

The 13 Colonies got their names from various sources. Many were named after English royalty, like Georgia for King George II, Maryland for Queen Henrietta Maria, and Virginia after Elizabeth I, the 'Virgin Queen.' Others, like Pennsylvania, were named after founders (William Penn) or places in England, such as New Hampshire and New York. Some names reflected local geography or Indigenous terms, like Connecticut from the Mohegan word “Quinnehtukqut,” meaning “long tidal river.
