Best Answer

The first Dutch settlement in the Americas was founded in 1614: Fort Nassau, on Castle Island in the Hudson, near present-day Albany. It was later replaced by Fort Oranje (in English: Fort Orange) at present-day Albany. Both forts were named in honor of the Dutch House of Orange-Nassau.
