The dutch founded New Amsterdam, which was the original name of New York, as a way to entice more settlers to establish a strong base of operations at the mouth of the Hudson river, to protect the trade going on between dutch merchants in New York and the Native American tribes living further north along the Hudson, primarily trading in furs and pelts. New Amsterdam served as the seat of colonial government in the dutch colony of New Netherland, as well as a regional centre for commerce and communication, as well as the principal seaport for the colony.
