That would have been New Amsterdam. Established by the Dutch on what is now Manhatten. The English renamed it New York.
In the 1600s, the first people to claim what is now New York were the Dutch. They established the colony of New Netherland in 1624, with its capital at New Amsterdam, located on the southern tip of Manhattan Island. The Dutch aimed to capitalize on the lucrative fur trade and established a diverse settlement that included various European settlers and enslaved Africans. In 1664, the English seized control of New Amsterdam and renamed it New York.

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.
