New Amsterdam is the original Dutch name for the modern New York City. The town was founded in 1625. The Dutch name was Nieuw Amsterdam. It was part of the Dutch settlement of what became the state of New York, in the subsequent United States of America.
New York City was called New Amsterdam by the Dutch settlers. When the English took control in 1664, they renamed it New York.
The first Mayor of New York City was Thomas Willett, who served from 1665 to 1666. Before 1664, New York City was under Dutch control, and was called New Amsterdam. New Amsterdam did not have mayors; instead, the Dutch appointed a Director General to govern the city. In 1664, the English took control of New Amsterdam and renamed it New York. From 1664 to 1665, Richard Nicolls governed New York under the title of British Military Governor of the Province of New York. In 1665 the office of Mayor of New York was established, and Thomas Willett became the first official Mayor of New York City.
