The Huguenots not only came to New York, they went to a number of places. Still, the Huguenots, or French Protestants, escaped France with the clothes on their backs. They escaped to Protestant Countries such as Holland. Some escaped to North Germany, some to Scandinavia, some to Switzerland, and some to England. In 1609 when the Dutch were looking for settlers for New Amsterdam, the Huguenot refugees were available. They were cultured, educated, and hard working. So, the Dutch used the Huguenots to populate New York. They also sent a number of Dutch citizens.
