In the 17th Century, New England's economy was just getting started. There were several companies that sent men and women to New England to work in the logging industry in the late 1500's. Many of the men did not do the work they were asked to do, so the companies did not prosper at first.

The economy of the New England colonies depended on their locations. Towns that were along the coast had an economy based on fishing, whaling, and the building of ships. Those people that were inland had an economy based on farming. The New England colonies were Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, and New Hampshire.
