Henry Hudson
I am pretty sure it was Henry Hudson. not positive, but pretty sure.
The first European to visit New York was Giovanni da Verrazzano in 1524. The Dutch claimed the land in 1609 following Henry Hudson's search for a Northwest Passage and called it New Netherland.
Giovanni de Verrazano first explored the area that is now New York in 1524 and later by Henry Hudson and Samuel de Champlain in the early 1600's. It was first settled by the Dutch in 1613, who built trading posts along the Hudson River. The Dutch named the colony New Netherland. During the next ten years, Dutch settlers would establish small colonies at Albany and other points along the Hudson River.In 1625, Peter Minuit founded New Amsterdam at the outflow of the Hudson River. According to legend, Minuit paid local Indians about $24 worth of trinkets for the land. Who knew that America's largest city, New York City, would develop from the land that Minuet purchased.In the 1630's and 1640's, Puritans from other colonies began moving into New Amsterdam. They quickly gained political and economic influence. The British soon claimed the entire region, citing the explorations of John Cabot as justification. In 1664, a British naval fleet sailed into the harbor of New Amsterdam and forced its surrender. New Netherland was then divided into the colonies of New York and New Amsterdam. The name "New York," after James, Duke of York, replaced New Amsterdam.
French and English both claimed what is current day Canada. Henry Hudson claimed Hudson Bay for England in 1611. However, the French founded Quebec City in 1608.

The Hudson River was originally named the Mauritius River, which is claimed to be the name given by Hudson in honor of Prince Maurice of Nassau. Alternatively, it is said to be the name given by Sixteenth Century European adventurers, explorers, and fishermen who knew the river as River Mauritius, 'The River of Mountains'.The Hudson River was named after the explorer Henry Hudson who explored that area in the early 1600's for the Dutch.
In 1609, Henry Hudson explored the river that now bears his name in New York. They were searching for the Northwest Passage. On the river, Henry, whose trip was funded by a Dutch trading company, managed to meet and trade with Native Americans along his route. He named the area The Hudson River Valley and claimed it for the Dutch.
The main river that was nearby the 1600's colonial New York was the Hudson River. Settlements were established along this river during this time. After Henry Hudson claimed this area for the Dutch, they settled here and called it New Netherlands.

No one knows. The area around the mouth of the Hudson River has been visited since about 12,000 B.C. The person normally given credit for "discovering" the Hudson River, and the first European to chart the area, was Dutch navigator Henry Hudson. The Dutch colony on the southern tip of Manhattan which became New York was founded by Peter Stuyvesant in 1624 as New Amsterdam.
