The English showed up with a small fleet and demanded the city surrender. Since the colony had very little military resources, it did surrender. Thus New Netherland became New York, named after the Duke of York, who was the King's brother (and he eventually became king himself, as James II).
A few years later, when the English and Dutch were at war again, the Dutch were able to occupy New York for a while- but the Dutch eventually lost the war and were forced to give it back to England. It then remained an English colony until the American Revolution.
