HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES 
Ferdinando Gorges. These two men were made proprietors 0] 
nearly all the land that is now included in the three States 01 
Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont. In 1629 they dividec 
their territory, Gorges taking Maine for his share and Mason 
taking New Hampshire. Both Maine and New Hampshire 
were at times claimed and held by Massachusetts. In 16091 New 
Hampshire was separated from Massachusetts and was made a 
colony with a government of its own, although even after 1691 
the two colonies sometimes had the same governor. In the same 
year Maine was given to Massachusetts and was known as the 
District of Maine. It remained a part of Massachusetts until it 
became a State.
