The proprietors of the middle colonies were individuals granted land by the English crown who oversaw the colonies' development, land distribution, and governance during the 17th century. They played a key role in promoting settlement and ensuring economic growth while also facing challenges from the English government. Notable proprietors included William Penn for Pennsylvania and Lord Baltimore for Maryland, contributing to the colonies' diverse and tolerant societies.
