Best Answer

Giovanni de Verrazzano in 1524.

Non-Eurocentric Answer:

It depends on the area of present day New York state, but the original discoverers of what is now New York were the tribes of the Abenaki, Cayuga, Erie, Laurentian, Mohawk, Wappingers, Mohegan, Montauk and Shinnecock, Munsee Delaware, Oneida, Onondaga, Poospatuck/Unkechaug, and Seneca people who settled there between 10,000 and 15,000 years ago.
