The Dutch settled in the Hudson Valley in the early 17th century, specifically in 1624. They established trading posts and colonies in the area, including the settlement of New Amsterdam (later renamed New York City).
The creation of vast Hudson Valley estates by the Dutch and English resulted in the displacement of Native American populations from their lands, as well as the importation of enslaved Africans to work on the estates. These estates contributed to the establishment of powerful landed elite families who controlled the region's economy and politics.
Dutch Colonies were founded about 1609 by English explorer Henry Hudson. He set sail for Dutch East India Company to look for a passage to the Indies. Instead, he sailed right up the Hudson. So, he claimed the land on both sides of the Hudson River for Dutch settlers.
