John Cabot probably explored Maine for the English in 1498, and in 1607 a temporary English colony was established on the Kennebec River. In 1622 Sir Ferdinando Gorges and John Mason received a land grant in the area. After a division of the land in 1629, Gorges received the area that became the province of Maine. He received a royal charter in 1639. In 1677 Massachusetts gained control of Maine. They were separated in 1819, and statehood was granted in 1820 as part of the Missouri Compromise.
