In 1609 Henry Hudson established a Dutch colony in what is now New York. Yet the colony was small and the fort that was built was not very strong. The port was a good one so the British became interested in the area and when the brother of the king, the Duke of York, was given the area of New York in 1664. New York was seized by English without a shot being fired. Named, after the Duke of York it became New York.
