Who did henry hudson claim new netherland for?

In the first place he discovered the region while sailing under the command of the Dutch West India Company (West-Indische Compagnie), one of the first stock-exchanged companies in the world. The settlement of New Amsterdam (which became known as New York City when the English gained control over the area after the Fourth Anglo-Dutch War) was originally set up as a trading post for beaver-skins. When other countries in Europe started to colonize the America's, the Dutch could not stay behind and started settling as well. But that is another story.
