During the next ten years, Dutch settlers would establish small colonies at Albany and other points along the Hudson River.In 1625, Peter Minuit founded New Amsterdam at the outflow of the Hudson River. According to legend, Minuit paid local Indians about $24 worth of trinkets for the land. Who knew that America's largest city, New York City, would develop from the land that Minuet purchased.In the 1630's and 1640's, Puritans from other colonies began moving into New Amsterdam. They quickly gained political and economic influence. The British soon claimed the entire region, citing the explorations of John Cabot as justification. In 1664, a British naval fleet sailed into the harbor of New Amsterdam and forced its surrender. New Netherland was then divided into the colonies of New York and New Amsterdam. The name "New York," after James, Duke of York, replaced New Amsterdam.
