Best Answer

New York can trace its roots back to circa 1624 when it was founded as a trading post by colonists of the Dutch Republic and was named New Amsterdam in 1626. Thereafter the British took over the colony and city in 1664, which they called New York after the Roman city of York situated in the north of England.
