The Dutch. Even though Henry Hudson, who first sailed up New York Harbor, was an English explorer, he was hired by the Dutch East India Company in 1609 to find a northeastern sea passage to Asia and the spice islands of the South Pacific. Because Hudson had been hired by the Dutch East India Company, the Dutch later claimed the area and established a colony, naming it New Amsterdam. Peter Minuit of the Dutch West Indies Company bought the island in 1626 from the Manhattan Indians for $24 worth of merchandise. However, it was renamed New York when the English took control in 1664.
