The fur trade attracted many people to New Netherland due to its lucrative potential, as beaver pelts were in high demand in Europe for fashion and luxury goods. The region's abundant wildlife and waterways made it an ideal location for trapping and trading furs. Additionally, the Dutch West India Company's efforts to promote trade and settlement drew merchants, hunters, and laborers seeking economic opportunities. This vibrant trade network fostered cultural exchange and contributed to the colony's growth and diversity.
