Back in 1644 Peter Stuyvesant forced the Dutch to surrender to England. New Netherland became New York and New Amsterdam became Manhattan. In 1647 Peter Stuyvesant led the beginning of the colony.
(When the English captured the territory from the Dutch, the king gave it to his brother, the Duke of York.)

For a mustread, "Island at the Center of the World," by Russell Shorto, is a great explanation of the Dutch influence in our state and nation.

∙ 13y agoNew Amsterdam changed form being Dutch to an English colony because in 1664, English ships sailed into the harbor of New Amsterdam. The English captain told the Dutch governor, Peter Stuyvesant, to turn over the colony to England. Stuyvesant blustered that he would not give up without a fight. The Dutch colonists, however, had tired of their governor's harsh leadership and would not fight. In the end, Stuyvesant surrendered before a shot was fired.
