What did Dutch patroons create along the river?

What are patroons? First off, Patroons are settlers from back-in-the-day. Each patroon was given 50 workers to maintain the land. These people helped the beauty, population, and overall satisfaction of the colony grow. Once the patroon brought 50 workers to continue maintaining the land, the patroon would receive a grant. It's almost like a "Good job!" kind of gift. Sometimes, patroons may receive land, food, or even money. Dutch patroons had to take boats, like any other traveler on the sea. It takes days, weeks, maybe even months! They needed to stop somewhere. Once they found land, they were so excited. There would be food, water, and shelter just waiting for them! When they parked their boat, they discovered their friends are already there. The Dutch patroons obviously needed to build settlements. The patroons barely did any work besides the fact they brought 50 workers from across the world. The patroon had the 50 workers build the houses, the fires, the paths, unload the boat, and basically everything they need to be satisfied with their new homes. The settlement was along the river, the Hudson river to be exact. The beautiful view when the sunset comes, the fresh water, and even the fertile soil was a positive impact to their settlement. Life was very satisfying for the Dutch patroons, and their friends all sharing the same area. The Dutch people concurred and cared for their home, New Netherlands, which is now New York.
