The short answer is 1624. Here's the long answer ... Native Americans inhabited the area long before Europeans arrived. Here's a short article about the Lenape Indians. In 1524, the first European to the area was Giovanni da Verrazzano, an Italian sailing for the French. The French never colonized the area. In 1609, Henry Hudson, an Englishman sailing for the Dutch East India Company, rediscovered it. (Like other explorers, Hudson was actually looking for a shortcut to Asia.) In 1626, the Dutch purchased the island of Manhattan from the Indians, famously, for a few dollars worth of beads and ribbons. This became the colony of New Amsterdam. Here is more information about the founding of the Middle Colonies and New Amsterdam. New Amsterdam separated the English colonies of New England from the other English colonies in the south. Clashes between the Dutch and the English were inevitable. England's Charles II claimed all the Dutch land, and in 1664 he gave it to his brother, the Duke of York. The Dutch weren't prepared to fight the English, so in 1664, New Amsterdam became New York.
Close, but no. The Dutch bought the island of Manhattan in 1624. The City of Niewe Amsterdam was founded in 1625. That is the date that appears on the Seal of the City of New York.
I know that the answer is...It was founded in 1664, I have done research and it is also in social studies and history books!
You mean, Peter Minuit. He arrived in New Amsterdam and instructed that all of Manhattan be bought from the Indians. As Legend has it, he paid only 24 dollars for 22-acres of land which would have cost so much more in modern money. It was the greatest real-estate bargains in history.
1664
New York's FoundingActually, the mayor of New Amsterdam sent a call out for arms against English. However, since he was largely unliked by the colonists there no one bothered with it. They were no where near about to fight (I know this because for 1; I've got the book sitting right next to me and 2; we're going over this time period in my history class.)
