New Netherland was primarily settled by the Dutch in the early 17th century, with the establishment of trading posts and settlements, including New Amsterdam, which is now New York City. The Dutch West India Company played a significant role in promoting colonization, attracting various European settlers, including the English, French, and Germans, as well as enslaved Africans. The region was focused on fur trading and agriculture, contributing to its diverse population. In 1664, the English seized control of New Netherland and renamed it New York.
