Manhattan was discovered by European explorers in 1524 when Italian explorer Giovanni da Verrazzano sailed into the New York Harbor. However, it was Henry Hudson, an English explorer working for the Dutch East India Company, who is often credited with the more detailed exploration of the area in 1609. The Dutch established a settlement on the island in 1624, naming it New Amsterdam, which later became New York when the English took control in 1664.
