The land that is now known as New York was claimed for the Dutch by Henry Hudson in 1609. Hudson, an English explorer sailing under the Dutch flag, navigated the river that now bears his name, establishing Dutch interests in the region. This exploration led to the eventual establishment of the Dutch colony of New Amsterdam on the island of Manhattan.
