List of monarchs of English and British American colonies

The first monarch of any English or Scottish colony in North America was Queen Elizabeth I, for whom Virginia Colony was named. Following seasonal settlement during Elizabeth's lifetime in Newfoundland and unsuccessful colonies in Virginia, the first successful permanent settlements in what was later to become the Thirteen Colonies came in 1607 in the days of King James I and VI. This page lists the Kings and Queens of each English and later British colony, from 1607 to 1783.
