Province of Broker

The Province of Broker was one of the five English (later British) crown colonies in Albion as well as the first. It was founded in 1508 by Captain James Broker, who arrived days before the commander of the English colonial force, Commodore Richard Stutton. It was chartered by Henry VIII as an official colony in 1515, when James Broker was also appointed as Royal Governor. The modern states of Broker, Intima and the National Capital Region are its direct successors. The name Broker comes from the first man to land at what is today Title Island, and the founded of the state, James Broker.
