When New York was first established in 1624, it was primarily a Dutch trading post known as New Amsterdam. The settlement was strategically located on the southern tip of Manhattan Island, facilitating trade and commerce. In 1664, the English seized control and renamed it New York in honor of the Duke of York. The city quickly grew into a significant port and cultural hub in colonial America.
