No. New Amsterdam was located in present-day New York City. It was captured by British Forces and later renamed to New York.
The British captured New Netherland in 1664 and renamed it New York, in honor of the Duke of York, who later became King James II of England. This acquisition marked a significant shift in colonial power in North America, as the British solidified their control over the region. The change also reflected the broader competition between European powers for dominance in the New World.
In August of 1664, a small British naval force captured the Dutch settlement of New Amsterdam. This aggressive action was followed by a war between the Dutch and the British, during which the captured city was -- in June of 1665 -- renamed as "New York City".
