Manhattan was discovered by European explorers in 1524 when Italian explorer Giovanni da Verrazzano sailed into the New York Harbor. However, it was Henry Hudson, an English explorer working for the Dutch East India Company, who is often credited with the more detailed exploration of the area in 1609. The Dutch established a settlement on the island in 1624, naming it New Amsterdam, which later became New York when the English took control in 1664.
The explorer who claimed territory for the Dutch was Henry Hudson. He discovered both the Hudson River in present-day New York and Hudson Bay in Canada while searching for a Northwest Passage to Asia.
The east coast of North America, including New York Harbor, was first explored by the Italian navigator Giovanni da Verrazzano in 1524. He sailed under the French flag and is credited with being the first European to enter New York Harbor. Later, in 1609, Henry Hudson, an English explorer sailing for the Dutch, further explored the region and mapped the area around the Hudson River. Hudson's exploration ultimately led to the establishment of Dutch claims in the region.
