The name of the city changed when the Dutch colony was given to the English in exchange for the English colony of Suriname, which was given to the Dutch. (Suriname was considered more valuable at the time since it had the ideal conditions for sugarcane growth.) The length of usage for the name "New Amsterdam", though, was only 40 years.
