The middle colonies were New Netherlands/New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Delaware. The most populous was Pennsylvania settled during the 17th century. Settlers usually organized themselves in small farms spread throughout the colony with a few cities. <em>The Middle colonies had two major ports who were the main economic outposts, New York City and Philadelphia.</em>
As city populations increased in the early 1900s, cities grew up and out.
