James, Duke of York, granted the land of New Jersey to Sir George Carteret and Lord John Berkeley in 1664. This was part of his larger acquisition of New Netherland from the Dutch, which included the territory that would become New Jersey. The grant was intended to encourage settlement and development in the region, leading to its eventual division into East and West Jersey.
