New Netherland, originally founded by the Dutch in the early 17th century, was the Middle colony that was later taken over by the English. In 1664, the English captured New Netherland and renamed it New York, establishing it as a significant English colony. The takeover was largely motivated by the strategic importance of the region and its lucrative fur trade.
