The American city of New York is named after the European city of York in England. The name was adopted in 1664 when the British took control of the Dutch settlement of New Amsterdam and renamed it in honor of the Duke of York, who later became King James II of England. York itself has a rich history dating back to Roman times, making the name a significant nod to its historical roots.
