TERRITORY. This article treats of the title of 

 the United States to their territory and of the forma- 

 tion of territorial governments. The greater part of 

 North America was claimed by the sovereign of Great 

 Britain on the ground of its discovery by British sub- 

 jects. The grant to Sir Walter Raleigh in 1584 of 

 lands not held by any Christian prince or people and 

 title to such as should be discovered under that au- 

 thority resulted in no permanent establishment. 



The first charter of Virginia, in ]60f>. granted the 

 sea-coast of America from the 34th to the 45th degree 

 of latitude to two companies termed the first and 

 second colonies, the first colony to be established be- 

 tween the 34th and 41st degrees, and the second colony 

 between the 3Sth and 4."itli degrees, but not less than 

 100 English miles apart. The western limit of this 

 grant was indefinite. The second charter of Virginia, 

 in 1609. defined more exactly the grant to and powers 

 of the first colony, limiting it territorially to 200 miles 

 north and the same distance south of Point Comfort, 

 extending into the land from sea to sea. The third 

 charter of Virginia, in 1611, was to the first colony 

 and confirmed the terms ot the second charter as it 

 regarded the territory granted, but added that it 

 should extend "from sea to sea, west and north-west," 

 and also added certain islands. The firft company, 

 originally known as the London Company, organized 

 under the second charter as the South Virginia Com- 

 pany. The second company was the Plymouth Com- 

 pany that settled New England. 



The charter of New England, in 1620, was to the 

 second colony under the Virginia grant, and its objects 

 were to make the colonies independent of each other 

 and to make partition of their territory between them, 

 which had been partially accomplished by the second 

 charter of Virginia. The territory granted under this 

 charter was denominated New England, and was to ex- 

 tend from the 40th to the 48th degrees of latitude. 



A charter was granted to the colony of Massachu- 

 setts Bay in Hiii'i, embracing that part of the coast of 

 New England between the Merrimac and Charles 

 Rivers and extending beyond them respectively three 

 English miles. This charter, intended to confirm a 

 grant from Plymouth colony, was annulled in 1G84 and 

 a new charter granted in 1091. The last mentioned 

 charter granted to Massachusetts Bay and Plymouth 

 colony the Province of Maine and Nova Scotia and as 

 far south as Rhode Island and Connecticut, including 

 Cape Cod and westward to the South Sea. 



JKuMe&MWttl was one of the original colonies and 

 became a State at the Revolution. 



New Hampshire was settled under grants from the 

 Plymouth colony, confirmed by the crown in 1629, 

 and became an independent colony in 1C75 by royal de- 

 cree, and became a State at the Revolution.
