it started as the Netherlands in colonial times founded by peter Minuit
Peter Minuit and Henry Hudson played key roles in the establishment of New York as a colony due to their ambitions for trade and exploration. Minuit, as the director of the Dutch West India Company, sought to expand Dutch influence and commerce in North America, leading to the purchase of Manhattan from Native Americans in 1626. Hudson, who had explored the region earlier, had identified its potential for trade, particularly in fur. Together, their efforts laid the groundwork for New Amsterdam, which later became New York City.
The Dutch, under the leadership of Peter Minuit, began the establishment of New Amsterdam in 1626, which later became New York City. Minuit is famously known for purchasing the island of Manhattan from the local Lenape Native Americans for goods valued at around 60 guilders, often romanticized as a bargain. This transaction marked the beginning of significant Dutch influence in North America and the establishment of a thriving trade hub.
