Peter Minuit became the leader of New Amsterdam in 1626 when he was appointed as the director of the New Netherland colony. He is best known for his purchase of Manhattan Island from the local Native American tribes, which marked a significant moment in the history of the area. His leadership lasted until 1631, during which he focused on establishing trade and governance in the fledgling settlement.
