Before it was officially named New York and it was the New Netherlands under the Dutch rule, Peter Minuit was governor from 1626 to 1647. From 1647 to 1664 (when the English took over), Peter Stuyvesant was the governor. His impact was the greatest, as he helped create a fire department, police force, and made attendance at church obligatory. Richard Nicolls was implemented as the first British governor of New York, and he was given power by the Duke of York (for which New York was named after) to make laws and raise taxes.
