New York City was officially founded in 1624 when the Dutch established a trading post called New Amsterdam on the southern tip of Manhattan Island. The English seized control of the city in 1664, renaming it New York in honor of the Duke of York. The area has a rich history that predates European settlement, inhabited by Indigenous peoples for thousands of years prior.
