Peter Minuit was a Dutch colonial governor known for his role in the early history of New York City. He is famously credited with the purchase of Manhattan Island from the Lenape Native Americans in 1626, for goods valued at 60 guilders, often mythologized as being worth about $24. Minuit served as the director of the New Netherland colony and played a key role in its development before being dismissed in 1631 due to disputes with the Dutch West India Company. After leaving New Netherland, he later became the governor of the Swedish colony of New Sweden, which included parts of present-day Delaware, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania.
