New Amsterdam was founded by the Dutch, but there were also English, Irish, Swedes, Finns, German, Belgians, French, Jews from Portugal, blacks and other nationalities living there. In 1664, four British warships sailed into New York harbor and took it over without firing a shot. The British renamed it New York and continued the fairly tolerant policies of the Dutch businessmen who had run New Amsterdam and so New York City continued to have more of a mix of nationalities than most colonies, though other than the black slaves who came involuntarily, the people who came to New York City at that time were mostly from northern Europe.
