Indonasia
The Dutch colonists primarily came from the Netherlands, which is located in Western Europe. They were a part of the Dutch East India Company and were involved in establishing colonies in various parts of the world, including present-day New York (formerly New Amsterdam), South Africa, and the Dutch East Indies (present-day Indonesia).
The Dutch explored various regions around the world, including the Americas, Africa, Asia, and Australia. Some notable Dutch explorers include Willem Janszoon who explored parts of Australia, Abel Tasman who discovered Tasmania and New Zealand, and Henry Hudson who explored North America. The Dutch East India Company also established trade routes and colonies in regions such as the East Indies (Indonesia) and South Africa.
New York was originally called New Amsterdam when it was a Dutch colony. It was later renamed New York when the English took control in 1664.
The Dutch people initially settled in New Amsterdam, which is present-day New York City. They established the Dutch colony of New Netherland in the early 17th century.
There were multiple reasons for the Dutch leaving their homeland. One significant factor was religious persecution, as the Dutch Protestants faced discrimination under Spanish Catholic rule. Economic opportunities and the lure of new territories also motivated the Dutch to explore and settle in other parts of the world. Additionally, the Dutch East India Company played a significant role in expanding Dutch trade and empire, leading to the establishment of colonies overseas.

Willem Jansz was a trader who worked for one of the earlier Dutch trading companies which preceded the Dutch East India Company. During his career, he sailed for the Dutch East Indies several times. When he departed on his third trip to the East Indies in December 1603, commanding the "Duyfken", his mission was to seek other trade possibilities. This was when he accidentally came across Australia's Cape York Peninsula, and believed it was part of New Guinea.

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.
