New Amsterdam, later renamed to New York. I think it should be changed back.
The name of the Dutch colony on the Hudson River was "New Netherland". Its principal port at the mouth of the river was "New Amsterdam", known today as New York City.

The dutch founded New Amsterdam, which was the original name of New York, as a way to entice more settlers to establish a strong base of operations at the mouth of the Hudson river, to protect the trade going on between dutch merchants in New York and the Native American tribes living further north along the Hudson, primarily trading in furs and pelts. New Amsterdam served as the seat of colonial government in the dutch colony of New Netherland, as well as a regional centre for commerce and communication, as well as the principal seaport for the colony.
In 1621, Dutch merchants formed the Dutch West India Company to start a colony in America. The first Dutch colonists settled along the upper Hudson where they built Fort Orange, near present-day Albany, New York. The new colonists quickly found that there were good profits to be made in the fur trade. They established trading posts along the Hudson RIver. The largest was on Manhattan Island at the river's mouth.
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.
Yes the Dutch claimed the Hudson River area.
The land that is now known as New York was claimed for the Dutch by Henry Hudson in 1609. Hudson, an English explorer sailing under the Dutch flag, navigated the river that now bears his name, establishing Dutch interests in the region. This exploration led to the eventual establishment of the Dutch colony of New Amsterdam on the island of Manhattan.
