History & Culture
How did New York City become the sprawling global financial metropolis we know of today? New York City's beginnings start in the 1600s, when the Dutch West India Company, landed on "Manahatta" (Lenape for "land of many hills") and created a colony, Dutch New Amsterdam, to profit from the beaver fur trade and commerce. Later, in 1664, this colony would be taken by the British and renamed New York, after the Duke of York.
