By the time of the arrival of Europeans, the tribes of the Iroquois League and the Algonquians lived in these places, which, during the European colonization of North America, underwent significant extermination. The development of the region began with the study of the river. Hudson. G. da Verrazano visited New York Bay in 1524. In 1609, Henry Hudson, who served with the Dutch, came down the river to the area where the city of Albany is now located. Here in 1614-18 there was the first settlement of Fort Nassau. In 1621, this territory was included in the Dutch colonial possessions in North America, called New Netherlands. In 1626 the city of New Amsterdam (the future New York) was founded, which became the center of the Dutch colonies. This territory was the object of a long Anglo-Dutch struggle. In 1664, the Dutch governor Peter Stuyvesant surrendered the colony to the British under pressure from the British fleet. From 1664 (except 1673-74) it was owned by the British (who gave their new colony the name New York). In 1664, the territory now known as the state of New Jersey was separated from the colony; a year later, the border between New York and Connecticut was established, which did not change later. In 1688, New York, along with other colonies, became part of the Dominion of New England. After the uprising led by J. Liesler, power in the colony was in the hands of the rebels for two years (1689-91). In 1691, after the restoration of the power of the English crown, it was decided to create a legislative assembly. New York was the center of events during the wars with the French and Indians and many times, until the defeat of the French in 1761, was subjected to devastating raids.
