The New Netherlands colony in North America stretched from Delaware to Cape Cod in what are now the modern US States of New York, New Jersey, Delaware and Connecticut, with outposts in Pennsylvania and Rhode Island.

The capital of the Dutch colony was New Amsterdam, at the tip of the island of Manhattan, which after being taken over by the British was renamed New York.
