Settlers usually organized themselves in small farms spread throughout the colony with a few cities added to the mix., The Delaware Colony later separated from Pennsylvania, which was founded by William Penn. The Middle Colonies had lots of rich soil, which was allowing the area to become a major exporter of wheat and other grains., The Middle Colonies had warm summers and cool winters and soil well-suited to growing crops. The mild climate combined with the fertile earth allowed small farms to flourish, and the Middle Colonies eventually became known as the Bread Basket., Quakers, Catholics, Jews, Lutherans and Presbyterians were among those religious groups that had significant numbers in the middle colonies.
