New Amsterdam (nowadays called New York).

Some parts of New York, IE area and streetnames, still remind of that history. Harlem for example was formerly a settlement called "Nieuw Haarlem" (New Haarlem) after the name of the original dutch city of Haarlem or today's Brooklyn named originally "Breuckelen".
