ADIRONDAK [100] dF 1615, dE 1688, tE 1749 Ogdenburg (not Fort Henry), US 1782. The French colonynames file wrongly places ‘Fort Carillon’ here. Fort Carillion is another name for Ticonderoga - est.1755 in Ticonderoga province. It also states that FRA #100 should be called ‘Chouagen’, neither is true because there were no French settlements in Adirondak province.
AIRES [223] dS 1537, cS 1537 Buenos Aires (abandoned 1541), dP 1570, cS 1580 Buenos Aires
AISEN [177] - Uninhabitable
ALABAMA [55] dE 1673, cE 1775 Atlanta (not Augusta, which isn’t where EU ‘Alabama’ is), US 1782.
ALAGOAS [206] dP 1640, cP 1745 Vitoria de Conquista (not Sao Salve nor Aracaju)
ALEUTES [186] dR 1745, tR 1784 Pavlovsk Gavan (not Kiska). In 1784 Russia established her first trading post in Alaska: Three Saints Bay. It became the city of Pavlovsk Gavan in 1792 (if I knew the Russian for Three Saints Bay I’d name it that). I have assumed that this island represents Kikhtak, laterday Kodiak.
ALLEGHANY [61] dE 1673, cE 1750 Charlotte (not Camden), US 1782.
ALTAR [15] dS 1695, cS 1695 Tuscon (not Yuma)
AMAPA [183] dP 1640, cP 1745 Macapa
ANTICOSTI [123] dF 1534 – No Settlement.
ANTIGUA [147] dS 1494, dF 1535, dE 1580, dD 1595, cE 1632 Saint John City (this needs adding to the colonynames file under ENG 147).
APPALACHE [66] dE 1671, cE 1788 Fort Lee (not Charlotte), US 1782.
APURE [155] dS 1540 – No Settlement.
ARAXA [212] dP 1750 – No Settlement.
AREQUIPA [170] - Inca, dS 1535, cS 1540 Arequipa
ARICA [172] – Inca, dS 1537, cS 1540 Antofagasta (not Arica)
ARIZONA [18] dS 1540 – No Settlement.
ARKANSAS [51] dS 1542 – No Settlement. The French colonynames file places Fort Orléans here, but it should be in Missouri.
ARTIGAS [216] dS 1750 – No Settlement. If it were settled it would have been called Salto not Santa Fe.
ATACAMA [173] - Inca, dS 1536, cS 1536 Valparaiso
ATHABASKA [133] dF 1686, dE 1754 –No Settlement.
ATLIXCO [30] - Aztec, dS 1522, cS 1531 Acapulco (not Puebla)

AYACUCHO [167] - Inca, dS 1533, cS 1533 Ayacucho (not Santiago del Estero)
AZUAY [163] - Inca, dS 1534, cS 1534 Quito
BAJA [13] dS 1720, cS 1720 La Paz (not Santa Rosalia)
BANGOR [112] dF 1580, tF 1605 Fort des Pentagouets (destroyed by the Dutch 1674), dE 1625, dD 1674, US 1782. Though claimed by England this province was only ever settled by a French trading post 1605-74, after which it was virtually abandoned, i.e. it reverted to a neutral ‘native’ province. England’s interests in the province occurred later, the great timber port of Bangor started in 1791 and grew to fame in the next century. Though never colonised by the English, the colonynames ENG 112 entry should read ‘Bangor’ not ‘Portsmouth’ to allow for its potential premature development - whilst ‘Portsmouth’ is in Penobscot province not here.
BARAHONA [143] dS 1496, cS 1496 Santo Domingo, dE 1562.
BARBADOS [152] dS 1502, dF 1540, dE 1575, dD 1600, cE 1623 Bridgetown.
BAYOU [45] dS 1543 –No Settlement. The EU colonynames file claims that France had its trading post of Bâton Rouge here. This is wrong, Bâton Rouge was established in 1722 in Biloxi province.
BELLE ISLE [124] – Unknown and no settlement.
BILOXI [46] dS 1541, dF 1682, tF 1699, cF 1718 Nouvelle Orléans, dE 1763, cE 1763 New Orleans, cS 1783 Nuevo Orleans.

CHIMO [134] dF 1686, dE 1745, tE 1774 Ontario.
CHISASIBI [130] – Unknown and no settlement. The EU colonynames file places a fictional ‘Fort Georges’ here, ‘Fort Prince George’ was in the Ohio valley. There was no such fort here.

DETROIT [82] dF 1685, dE 1686, tF 1686 Fort Pontchartrain (not Fort Detroit), tE 1763 (Detroit), US 1782. Though the first trading post here was Fort St. Joseph, Fort Pontchartrain was bigger. Though Fort Pontchartrain was also known as Fort Detroit that wasn’t until later.

EVERGLADES [50] dS 1565 – No Settlement.

FUNDY [115] dF 1606, tF 1610 Fort Beauséjour, cF 1630, cE 1713 Fort Cumberland. The name ‘Fort Cumberland’ needs adding as an entry in the colonynames file under ENG 115.
GANDER [118] dF 1600, dE 1616 – No Settlement.
GASPÉSIE [114] dF 1606 – No Settlement. The French colonynames file erroneously places a settlement named Gaspé here but Gaspésie was never significantly settled in the EU era.

The French colonynames file places Fort Niagara here, fort Niagara was in Niagara and French power did not extend to here (though they destroyed the native town of Onandaga in 1696 no-one settled this region - so, in game terms the Iroquois were never territorially defeated but became ‘vassals’ of the French.

RIO GRANDE [41] dS 1530, cS 1697 San Antonio (actually Loreto came first, San Antonio in 1718 - but San Antonio is more famous).
ROANOKE [64] dE 1585, cE 1565 Virginia (not Roanoke) abandoned 1590, re-established 1682, dD 1690, US 1782. Using the name ‘Roanoke’ is repetitive and Virginia is more accurate, if the colony must be a city name, then call it Norfolk.
ROSARIO [222] dS 1545, dP 1570, cS 1600 Rosario
SACRAMENTO [8] – Unknown and not settled. The colonyname file lists SPA #8 at San Francisco. This wrongly misplaces San Francisco (which is in from province #9 Monterey). If the province had been colonised by Spain in the EU era it would have been called Sacramento. The towns of Sacramento (est.1836), Santa Rosa (1854), Yuba City (1854) and Chico (1860) were all founded after the EU era.

SHENANDOAH [70] dE 1693, cE 1762 Morgantown (not Pittsburg), US 1782. The colony name should not be ‘Pittsburg’ because Pittsburgh was created after 1792 in Irondekoit province around Fort Pitt. Before 1758 Fort Pitt was Fort Duquesne, so both the English and French colonyname files are wrong with regard to Shenandoah province.
SIERRA MADRE [10] dS 1766, tS 1771, cS 1781 Los Angeles

THE FALKLANDS [230] dF 1712, dS 1712, dE 1764, cF 1763 Isles Nouvelles, cE 1765 Port Stanley, cS 1770 Islas Malvinas. Colonised by settlers from Argentina, England and France, the Falklands first appeared on the maps of Amédée-François Frézier in 1712, who was working for Spain. Evidence of their discovery in the 16th century is too dubious to credit. Commodore John Byron claimed them for Britain in 1765. They were Spanish from 1770 until 1833 when Britain’s claim was internationally recognised.

ADIRONDAK [100] dF 1615, dE 1688, tE 1749 Ogdenburg (not Fort Henry), US 1782. The French colonynames file wrongly places ‘Fort Carillon’ here. Fort Carillion is another name for Ticonderoga - est.1755 in Ticonderoga province. It also states that FRA #100 should be called ‘Chouagen’, neither is true because there were no French settlements in Adirondak province.

BANGOR [112] dF 1580, tF 1605 Fort des Pentagouets (destroyed by the Dutch 1674), dE 1625, dD 1674, US 1782. Though claimed by England this province was only ever settled by a French trading post 1605-74, after which it was virtually abandoned, i.e. it reverted to a neutral ‘native’ province. England’s interests in the province occurred later, the great timber port of Bangor started in 1791 and grew to fame in the next century. Though never colonised by the English, the colonynames ENG 112 entry should read ‘Bangor’ not ‘Portsmouth’ to allow for its potential premature development - whilst ‘Portsmouth’ is in Penobscot province not here.

The French colonynames file places Fort Niagara here, fort Niagara was in Niagara and French power did not extend to here (though they destroyed the native town of Onandaga in 1696 no-one settled this region - so, in game terms the Iroquois were never territorially defeated but became ‘vassals’ of the French.

ROANOKE [64] dE 1585, cE 1565 Virginia (not Roanoke) abandoned 1590, re-established 1682, dD 1690, US 1782. Using the name ‘Roanoke’ is repetitive and Virginia is more accurate, if the colony must be a city name, then call it Norfolk.
ROSARIO [222] dS 1545, dP 1570, cS 1600 Rosario
SACRAMENTO [8] – Unknown and not settled. The colonyname file lists SPA #8 at San Francisco. This wrongly misplaces San Francisco (which is in from province #9 Monterey). If the province had been colonised by Spain in the EU era it would have been called Sacramento. The towns of Sacramento (est.1836), Santa Rosa (1854), Yuba City (1854) and Chico (1860) were all founded after the EU era.

Before 1758 Fort Pitt was Fort Duquesne, so both the English and French colonyname files are wrong with regard to Shenandoah province.

Evidence of their discovery in the 16th century is too dubious to credit. Commodore John Byron claimed them for Britain in 1765.
