The Separatists arrived in North America before the Puritans. The Separatists, who sought to break away from the Church of England, established the Plymouth Colony in 1620. The Puritans, who aimed to reform the Church from within, arrived later, primarily settling in the Massachusetts Bay Colony starting in 1630. Thus, the Separatists were the first to establish a colony in the New World.
