It was Giovanni da Verrazano that first traveled from Europe to the area now known as New Jersey in 1524. It was not until 1609 when Henry Hudson, a Dutchman, went to the area that the inland exploration of New Jersey took place.
Giovanni Verrazzano was a Tuscan who sailed for the French in 1524. He was seeking the Northwest Passage. Later Henry Hudson explored the Hudson River in 1609. He claimed the land for the Dutch.
