There were 13 original colonies. The way you know that is by counting the stripes on the American Flag. The original 13 colonies were, New Hampshire, New York, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia.
