After Giovanni da Verrazzano discovered New York in 1524, he became the first European to explore the region's coastline, which he named "New Angoulême." His discoveries did not lead to immediate colonization, but they sparked interest among European powers in the Americas. Over the following decades, the area saw increased exploration and eventually became a focus for settlement by the Dutch and later the English, leading to the establishment of New Amsterdam in 1624, which would later become New York City. Verrazzano's journey contributed to the growing European awareness and interest in North America.
