New Enuiand's Name.

The, pilgrims had nothing to do with
the naming of New England. That
name was coined by Captain John
Smith of Pocahontas fame and one of
the founders of the Virginia colony.

northern coast. then called North Vir-
ginia. and renamed it New England.
The Mayfower pilgrims did not arrive

new colony adopted the name used in
Smiths map several years before.
