1767-Jan.-07: Reports from the North American mainland confirmed the arrival of 164 German settlers in Pensacola on two separate vessels from Hamburg and Altona. These colonists were brought to establish a presence on the vast land grants belonging to Mountford Brown, the Lieutenant Governor of the region. The territory also prepared for the anticipated arrival of a large wave of immigrants departing from Northern Ireland. This influx of diverse European labor was a central component of the British plan to develop their new territorial acquisitions in West Florida.
