Cape May was discovered by European explorers in the early 17th century, with the first recorded European sighting attributed to Dutch explorer Henry Hudson in 1609. However, it was the Dutch and later the English who established more permanent settlements in the area. The region was named after the Cape May peninsula, which was named in honor of a ship, the "Cape May," that was part of the Dutch fleet.
