In 1609, Henry Hudson explored the river that now bears his name in New York. They were searching for the Northwest Passage. On the river, Henry, whose trip was funded by a Dutch trading company, managed to meet and trade with Native Americans along his route. He named the area The Hudson River Valley and claimed it for the Dutch.
