Samuel de Chaplin was instrumental in the construction of Fort Amsterdam in New Amsterdam, which served as the administrative center for the Dutch colony. The fort, built in the 1620s, was strategically located at the southern tip of Manhattan to protect against potential attacks and to facilitate trade. It laid the groundwork for what would eventually become New York City.
